This engaging session will explore the highs and lows of pitching, featuring expert perspectives from entrepreneurs who have successfully navigated the funding landscape and a funder who actively supports Black and Brown women business owners through pitch competitions.
Our esteemed panel includes Arion Long, CEO of Femly, whose innovative health solutions have earned national recognition; Dawn Myers, Founder of The Mint by Richualist, a platform revolutionizing beauty experiences for women of color; Maggie Villegas, CEO of Conjure The Future which builds platforms that invest in futures collectively led by artists, cultural workers, and creators; and moderator Takia Ross, CEO of Accessmatized, an advocate for equitable access to resources for minority-owned businesses. Together, they will share invaluable advice on crafting a compelling pitch, overcoming challenges, and leveraging pitch opportunities to fuel business growth.
