Black Girl Ventures Pitch Competition

Black Girl Ventures (BGV) hosted a BGV PITCH TOUR in Chicago on September 22nd! The BGV Pitch Competition in partnership with Nike and the aid of our BGV Change Agents. Our Change Agents are 6 Black and/or Brown women founders who are actively engaged in uplifting the current ecosystem for Black and Brown founders in your city.

A BGV Pitch Competition is like ‘Shark Tank’ mixed with the elements of a classic “Rent Party”. At a BGV pitch program, the audience decides the winner through Raisify.co, our voting platform, with their dollars. The winner is determined by the number of votes, not the dollar amount raised. The money raised goes to the founders, despite where they place.

The prizes for the pitch competitors are:

1st place: $10k

2nd place: $6k

3rd place: $2k

As well as other non-monetary prizes to enhance their business.
