A Small Business Pitch Prep [Virtual] Mini Masterclass
ONE DAY. FOUR HOURS. REAL PITCHES. REAL FUNDING RESULTS.
Can you imagine yourself standing on a stage, mic on, in front of check writers?
Not later.
Not someday.
Right after you finish speaking.
Hundreds.
Thousands.
Sometimes tens of thousands of dollars.
All for clearly explaining what your business does, who it serves, and why it matters.
SHE WON $6,000…IN 5 MINUTES!!!

Now imagine doing that in 30 seconds to 2 minutes.
Clear.
Confident.
Fundable.
If the idea excites you and also makes you hesitate, that makes sense.
Many Black women for-profit small business owners know their business is strong but still question:
- How their voice sounds
- How they come across on camera or on stage
- What to say when time is limited
- What judges are actually listening for
That uncertainty can cost you funding.
Small business pitch competitions are happening all around the United States.
They are one of the fastest ways to win funding to start, scale, or sustain your business.
Preparation is the difference.
PITCH is a four-hour Pitch Prep Academy mini-masterclass created to help you show up prepared, confident, and ready when the opportunity is in front of you.

Inside this workshop, you will not only learn the structure.
You will see it in action.
You will receive access to a recorded live coaching session from a real small business pitch competition.
This session features the Black woman business owner [above] who won $6,000 in five minutes after being coached on her pitch!
You will hear the feedback.
You will see the adjustments.
You will understand what made the pitch fundable.
If you need clarity.
If you need feedback.
If you need funding.
If you are ready to focus.
This is your invitation.
SHE WON $1,000 IN 3 MINUTES!
