Confidence, Funding, and Real Opportunity

A business pitch can change everything. That’s why we created the Business Pitch Summit—a platform where participants can present their ideas to real investors, business leaders, and mentors.

This isn’t just about winning funding. It’s about learning how to present a business professionally, gaining feedback, and building connections that can open doors. Even if a participant doesn’t secure funding immediately, they walk away with valuable insights, networking opportunities, and the ability to improve their pitch for future success.

A good idea deserves to be heard. This summit ensures that great business concepts don’t go unnoticed due to a lack of exposure or presentation skills.

This program is crucial because:

  • Many entrepreneurs struggle to find funding or investors.
  • Public speaking and pitching skills build confidence for future success.
  • Feedback from professionals helps refine business ideas.
  • Networking at events like this can lead to mentorship and unexpected opportunities.

Business Pitch Summit Overview

Business Pitch Summit provides an incredible platform for entrepreneurs, influencers, and innovators to transform their ideas into tangible opportunities. Participants have the chance to pitch their projects in front of real investors, community stakeholders, and grant providers. Even those who don’t win could still secure business partnerships or investments from judges and local stakeholders, ensuring that every idea has the potential to flourish. This comprehensive approach empowers participants by providing them access to essential resources, financial backing, and networking opportunities.
One key feature that sets the Business Pitch Summit apart is its pre-event crash course. This online training ensures that participants are well-prepared and understand the main reasons businesses fail, helping them mitigate risks and present a more robust pitch. These practical workshops are designed to level the playing field, offering every contestant—whether experienced or new—a fair shot at winning. By investing in participants' education, the summit creates a space where everyone can thrive.
Community involvement is central to the summit. Local stakeholders like chambers of commerce, city councils, and strategic partners are encouraged to collaborate with participants. This opens up the possibility for internships, scholarships, and business partnerships, further rooting participants' projects in the local economy. By connecting these leaders with promising ideas, the summit fosters local growth and community empowerment. Lastly, the summit’s commitment to social impact is reflected in its “Empower Programs” for marginalized individuals. Initiatives like "ReStart" and "Complete the Leader" target forgotten leaders—such as the homeless and reentry-qualified individuals—helping them reclaim their futures through business ownership opportunities. By fostering inclusivity, the Business Pitch Summit empowers not just entrepreneurs, but entire communities.

Turning Vision into Investment

One of the biggest challenges for aspiring entrepreneurs is securing the funding and exposure needed to get their businesses off the ground. The Business Pitch Summit, in partnership with the Brandon Owens Foundation, creates an opportunity for participants to present their business ideas to investors, mentors, and industry leaders.

For Forgotten Leaders, this is an opportunity to take their comeback story to the next level by pitching their business ideas and securing funding that may have otherwise been out of reach. For Next Generation Leaders, it’s a chance to step onto the stage with confidence and prove that their innovations deserve to be recognized and funded.

Through this initiative, we empower individuals not only to gain financial support but also to refine their presentation skills, build networks, and receive critical feedback. This aligns with our vision of ensuring that every person—no matter their background—has a chance to succeed if they are willing to put in the work.
