The IMPACT Fund and PitchFeast are collaborating to host the“IMPACT Central Indiana PitchFeast” event. The IMPACT Fund and PitchFeast are collaborating to host two “IMPACT Central Indiana PitchFeast” events. The events are scheduled to take place on March 29th and September 27th of 2021! During each event, 10 entrepreneurs will get the opportunity to showcase their business or startup to a group of investors and compete for a chance to receive startup capital that will help the business grow. The investments are being awarded in the form of low-interest loans, and in the amount(s) of $25,000 for first prize, $15,000 for second prize, and $10,000 for third prize. There will also be a fourth prize of $5,000 given to the “audience’s choice.” Each participant, who must identify as a Brown or Black entrepreneur and live in Central Indiana, will be given five minutes to pitch their business to a group of investors and a live audience. In addition to receiving business startup capital, participants will be provided with other wrap-around services aimed at supporting the entrepreneur. The goal of the IMPACT Fund and PitchFeast collaboration is to create an investment pipeline for Brown and Black entrepreneurs, who are normally overlooked when it comes to receiving business startup capital.
