SUMMARY:The Community Development Foundation Pitch Competition
DESCRIPTION:Join us at the Community Foundation Pitch Competition for a high-energy event where founders pitch their businesses\, compete for cash prizes\, and connect with Mississippi’s entrepreneurial ecosystem. This event is part of Mississippi’s statewide pitch network\, powered by Innovate Mississippi and the Mississippi Small Business Development Center Network\, bringing together entrepreneurs from across the state. \nThe competition features two pitch tracks—Scalable Business and Traditional Business—and is one of eight regional pitch events held statewide\, with over $200\,000 in total prize money available across all eight events. Participants gain access to experienced mentors\, receive valuable feedback from judges\, and ventures with high-growth potential may be invited to join Innovate Mississippi’s CoBuilders Accelerator\, beginning August 2026. \nApply here. https://airtable.com/appEXKLwQ5oSAorxH/pagHxTFjhnv9UqF3v/form \nThis project is being supported\, in whole or in part\, by federal award number SSBCI-21034-0003 awarded to Mississippi Development Authority (MDA) by the U.S. Department of the Treasury.
