To develop an entrepreneurial pipeline of Black & Brown talent in the tech industry, we’ve created the Black & Brown Tech Pitch Competition in partnership with Venture Miami. The Black & Brown Tech Pitch Competition is designed to give founders the opportunity to pitch their business to secure funding and business mentorship.
How It Works
Founders will be chosen from 3 mini tech pitch competitions (pre-qualifying events hosted in different Miami locations)
The Final Round. Founders who are invited to the final round will receive training support to perfect their presentations to make their final pitch in front of venture capitalists to secure
business deals.
