Due to concerns related to Coronavirus, Black Girl Ventures is making its 2020 Atlanta Pitch Competition into a virtual event. On September 25th, Atlanta-based Black and Brown woman-identifying entrepreneurs will have the opportunity to film their pitch. The videos will be broadcast on Black Girl Ventures’ proprietary virtual platform SheRaise.The pitch competition judges will provide feedback and ask questions to the founders via video. The virtual format of the event allows for increased viewership, and Black Girl Ventures supporters across the United States will be able to tune in, submit their votes, and make donations through SheRaise.
Black Girl Ventures creates access to capital for Black and Brown women-identifying founders. The BGV Pitch Program flips the traditional pitch experience on its head: we coach entrepreneurs, host a live crowdfunded event, then connect them to community and professionals to support them on their journey.

Cash from the audience donations
$3,000 in Google credits
A consultation with a lawyer
A consultation with an accountant
