Deadline: October 9, 2024

---

The Black Girl Ventures NYC Pitch program flips the traditional pitch experience on its head: they coach entrepreneurs, host a live crowdfunded pitch competition, and then connect you to community and professionals to support you on your journey. They democratize funding by allowing the audience to vote with their dollars using their Raisify platform for the founders whose pitch they favor. Each founder has 3 minutes to pitch and a 2 minute Q&A from the audience.

The person with the most votes wins (not the most money raised). The live crowdfunding event is high energy, fun, and focused in a supportive environment that includes the community in being part of the entrepreneurial journey.
