CEED hosting HERPitch Training in preparation for HERWeek

By Staff Report, posted Jan 30, 2024 on BizFayetteville.com

HERWeek hosted by NC CEED and the Women’s Business Center is preparing for its annual HERWeek during Women’s History Month, March 2-8, 2024. NC CEED has opened applications for HERPitch training classes which is a prerequisite for participation in the HERPitch competition. In previous years, pitch winners have been awarded $2,500 to $7,500 in grants.

HERWeek is a week-long celebration of women and their contributions to the community. On HERPITCH day entrepreneurs, who completed a PITCH course and have been selected to participate, present their business idea in a three minute pitch to a panel of judges for the chance to win a reimbursable grant.

Hannah de la Reyes Stevenson of Rosette Visual Art was a HERPitch winner from HERWeek in

March 2023. She shared her experience of participating and winning the HERPitch in a press release.

“I came to the Fayetteville Women’s Business Center to learn about running a business and I was told that there was a contest in a few weeks to win business fund money. I was skeptical about joining with it coming up so soon. But the wonderful mentors there not only encouraged me but also trained me on how to pitch a business. I am so grateful for their patience, honest feedback, and kindness!”

This training prepares participants by covering:

The basics of pitching your business
Important things to include in your pitch
What to expect when you compete in the business pitch competition
