TRAVERSE CITY -- A program is aiming to help new entrepreneurs going into 2012.  BOOST! is similar to the show Shark Tank in that it entrepreneurs meet with a panel to pitch their projects.  The panel and an audience will then cast votes for the top two businesses.

During Chamber Connections on 7&4 News Today, Doug Luciani with The Traverse City Area Chamber of Commerce explained the benefits of the program and why new entrepreneurs should take part.
