I've gone through the official donor materials so you don't have to. The Visionaries Pitch Competition is open to women-owned for-profit businesses based in the US. But there are a few hard caps you need to know upfront: annual revenue under $1 million, total prior funding under $500,000, and no operations in cannabis, weapons, or adult entertainment. Pre-revenue? You can still apply – but you'll need to show traction, like a waitlist or pre-sales. The tool above walks you through each requirement. Answer a few quick questions and you'll know instantly if you pass the initial gates.
What if you're unsure about an edge case?
Maybe your revenue is right at the line, or you're not sure if your waitlist counts as traction. That's exactly when a live 1-on-1 consultation with a grant expert makes sense. We can review your numbers and help you decide whether to invest the time in your video. Start full application submission or book a consultation.
Not eligible? There are other options.
If you don't meet the revenue or funding caps, or if your industry is excluded, don't worry. There are other grants designed for women entrepreneurs that might fit better. Check out the related grants section below.
