BGV NYC Pitch Competition
Deadline: 2025-11-09
Black Girl Ventures Foundation focuses on increasing access to early-stage capital, capacity-building and peer-supported networks for Black and Brown women-identifying entrepreneurs across the United States. They primarily deliver city-based pitch competitions, cohort fellowships, and partnership grant programs that combine cash awards with business education, marketing support, and community connections for revenue-generating, tech-enabled small businesses under $1M. BGV emphasizes community crowdfunding plus curated programming rather than open unsolicited general operating grants.

Event- and cohort-driven awards: city-specific pitch competitions with crowd-backed funding and cash prizes ($2,000–$15,000), cohort fellowships and named programs (NextGen, Emerging Leaders) with non-competitive community access; many opportunities are program- or partner-specific and not open to unsolicited general proposals.
Apply to city-specific BGV Pitch events or fellowship cohorts rather than submitting unsolicited grant requests; monitor BGV’s website and event pages for city/event deadlines and partner opportunity announcements (e.g., TikTok Innovate Together). Be prepared with a revenue-generating business model, a short pitch deck and a crowdfunding/social-media plan for competitions; many awards are decided during in-person or virtual pitch events and via community support.
