WeDC House: HERImpact DC: Pitch Competition & Reception

Statistics show that female entrepreneurs receive less than 1% of venture capital in this country and are more likely to be declined for a loan. The HI – HERImpact Pitch Competition is designed to provide much needed capital and coaching to female social entrepreneurs in the region. Cash prizes up to $50,000 and in-kind support in excess of $100,000 are provided up to three winners representing emerging and growth social enterprises.

Thank you for your interest in the HI - HERImpact DC pitch competition, sponsored by the Ford Motor Company Fund.
