Local Business Leader Offers $25K Grant to Boost Small Business Ventures
She Makes We, a social impact initiative by Innovating Marketing Group founder LaToya Hurley, has launched a $25K pitch competition for small business owners and aspiring entrepreneurs in need of funding. This virtual event will take place on Saturday, January 18, 2024, at 12 p.m., and aims to bridge the funding gap for underrepresented entrepreneurs. With less than 2% of venture capital funding going to women-led startups and less than 3% going to Black and Latino entrepreneurs, this competition serves as a platform to drive equity, innovation, and opportunity. Participants will pitch their ideas to an esteemed panel of judges, gaining visibility, valuable feedback, and access to mentorship and resources to scale their businesses.
