Buddying Bayport-Blue Point entrepreneurs developed and then pitched their ideas and inventions to a panel of judges during the annual Phantom Challenge, held on March 8. The event is structured much like the popular show “Shark Tank” where participants must create a concept paper and presentation explaining how their idea/business plan would impact today’s society.
