S.H.E. Pitch, now in its fourth year, is a pitch competition for female entrepreneurs designed to give businesses both in the “idea stage” and “growth stage” cash prizes, publicity and networking opportunities.
All who register will get access to a professional pitch creator program that will guide them through the process of creating a catchy elevator pitch, investment summary and slide presentation deck.
