Description
We at Grand Circus believe that diversity in the tech industry matters. We believe that our Black and Latinx entrepreneurs deserve as many opportunities as others in the tech world. That's why in collaboration with Code2040 and our Entrepreneur In Residence Javier Evelyn, we bring you Pitch 313.
Pitch 313 is pitch competition for minority owned tech startups in the city of Detroit who are in their early stages.
Startups will pitch in front of a panel of judges and the community. Judges will deliberate and narrow it down to three finalists who will win up to $1,000 in cash and in-kind offerings. All three finalist will be reviewed by the Detroit Homecoming Team and one may be able to pitch again for more possible funding at their pitch event on September 14th.
