Who is CannaPitch NYC?
CannaPitch NYC was founded with a clear purpose: to level the playing field for BIPOC and women entrepreneurs in the cannabis industry. Recognizing the significant barriers these communities face in accessing capital, mentorship, and industry networks, we launched an event series designed to create real change.
Our approach is rooted in
three core elements:
-
Our mentorship program equips selected entrepreneurs with the insights and strategies needed to succeed in pitching and scaling their businesses.
-
Through our recurring events, we shine a spotlight on exceptional BIPOC and women-led businesses, showcasing them as high-potential investment opportunities.
-
We connect entrepreneurs with investors actively seeking opportunities in the cannabis space, creating pathways to secure vital funding.
We envision a future where investors actively seek out and support diverse, high-potential businesses. By consistently showcasing the incredible talent and innovation among minority and women entrepreneurs, CannaPitch NYC is paving the way for a more inclusive and prosperous cannabis industry.
