Participation-Based Microgrants
While everyone loves a good pitch (we're the home of Randy Johnson, right?!), startup funding awarded at pitch competitions can create unnecessary competition and limit the number of businesses that benefit. That's not our idea of a winning strategy.

Sign up today to attend and receive one of 100 participation-based $500 microgrants available to women- and BIPOC-led startups and small businesses in Arizona!
