2023 PITCH COMPETITION

Our biggest pitch night yet, Enthuse Foundation’s 5th Annual Pitch Competition was a celebration of women who are making their mark on the food, beverage, and CPG industries.

This year - 300 founders applied from 34 different states including Puerto Rico and Washington D.C. and five countries. A new record of applications! We narrowed it down to the Top 30. The Top 30 review committee selected 15 companies. The Top 15 review committee chose five finalists and two alternates.

We have the privilege of working with women entrepreneurs every day. However, our annual Pitch Competition is a celebration of the guts, hustle, and courage it takes to live the entrepreneurial life.

The Top 5 Final entrepreneurs pitch their business live in New York City in front of a panel of industry experts.

Four industry experts pick the winners, awarding one worthy entrepreneur the chance to take home the title of Enthuse Foundation’s Pitch Competition Winner of the Year.
