Designed to empower women entrepreneurs building innovative ventures, the competition offers participants the opportunity to gain valuable pitch experience while connecting with mentors, business leaders, and community supporters invested in strengthening the regional startup ecosystem.
Early-stage female founders in the Greater Lehigh Valley are encouraged to apply and take advantage of this opportunity to build confidence, receive feedback, and accelerate their ventures.
What to Expect
Participants present their business concepts to a panel of judges—comprised of investors, industry experts, and community leaders—while engaging an audience of fellow entrepreneurs, supporters, and potential collaborators. Each competition includes networking opportunities, constructive feedback, and a celebration of women who are making bold moves in business.
