PITCH BLACK targets African American individuals, businesses and non-profits in need of start-up funding and mentoring to take their idea to new heights.
The goal is simple - create a launch pad that enables participants to expand their idea. We target early-stage projects, whether it is just an idea that exists only in theory or one that is fully operational.
This year we are pleased to partner with SheaMoisture and New Voices to present THE FUTURE IS STILL FEMALE — a start-up pitch competition for female entrepreneurs of color.
On Saturday, March 9 in Austin Texas, exemplary female founders and co-founders will take the stage to present their business ideas for a chance to win $100,000 in cash prizes and invaluable mentorship during the process.
