The Atlanta Hawks today announced that they are giving local entrepreneurs the chance to ‘Pull Up & Pitch’ their business ideas from 10 a.m. until 1 p.m. on Saturday, November 11th at State Farm Arena. The ‘Pull Up & Pitch’ program is presented by The Black Girl Ventures Foundation (BGV) and the NBA Foundation and is open to all US-based registered Black & Brown Founders, small business owners and entrepreneurs. The mission of Black Girl Ventures Foundation is to provide Black/Brown woman-identifying founders with access to community, capital, and capacity building in order to meet business milestones that lead to economic advancement through entrepreneurship.
More than 100 entrepreneurs will be given the chance to pitch their business in a fast-paced, question-and-answer competition. As part of this event, the participants will have 60 seconds to deliver an elevator pitch to access grants that will help grow their businesses on the spot.
“We are excited to continue using our platform to support Atlanta’s minority-owned businesses and allow them to ‘shoot their shot’ to grow their business immediately,” said Hawks Vice President of Marketing Narcis Alikhani. “
