If you're a woman founder who identifies as Black or Brown, running a US-based business with less than $1 million in annual revenue, this live pitch competition could be your stage. But eligibility isn't just about checking boxes – it's about understanding whether the live format fits you. The questions below will walk you through every criterion Black Girl Ventures uses, from business registration to founder identity. Answer them honestly, and you'll know instantly if you qualify to pitch. If you're on the fence or want to discuss your specific situation, you can always speak with one of our grant experts.

What the Eligibility Checker Won't Tell You

The checker confirms you meet the written rules. What it can't measure is your readiness for a 60-second live pitch. That's the real friction point. If you clear the gates but feel nervous about performing under pressure, we can help. Our pitch coaches work with founders to tighten their narrative and build confidence before they step on stage.

Not Sure If You Qualify?

Maybe your revenue is hovering near the cap, or you're not sure if your founder identity fits. Book a free consultation with our team – we'll review your situation together and give you a straight answer. No pressure, just clarity. Schedule a consultation
