Voting is open May 17-21 for the first round of the WBENCPitch: Sustainability competition!
WBENCPitch: Sustainability is a multi-round virtual pitch competition brought to you in partnership with FedEx and True Green Enterprises. This pitch competition is designed to highlight the most innovative business solutions focused on sustainability across the WBENC network. Two winners will be awarded a $10K or $20K grant for their business.
Sustainability is defined as the processes and actions that help to avoid the depletion of natural/environmental, social and economic resources. Companies are eligible to participate if they have a sustainable product or service, offer sustainability consulting, and/or have a strong commitment to sustainable processes and practices within the business.
We asked WBENC-Certified women-owned businesses from across the network to send us a 60-second video of their company’s elevator pitch that highlights the sustainable elements of their business. Now it is time to showcase these dynamic women entrepreneurs! The Video Showcase is open for voting to the public May 17 – May 21.
The 25 participants who receive the most votes during the Video Showcase Round will advance to the Semi-Final Round on June 3 and present a live pitch to a panel of corporate judges. The top 10 participants from the Semi-Finals will move on to the Final Round on June 30 for a chance to win a $10K or $20K grant to invest in their business.
