IMPACT Pitch ended with the live virtual pitch event in 2020, an evening dedicated to celebrating diverse entrepreneurs and small business owners throughout the Pacific Northwest. At this live event, selected semi-finalists pitched their start-up, early stage or established businesses to panels of judges for the chance to win the cash award prizes.
We enjoyed seeing so many supporters of our local economies join us in supporting these small-business owners at our culminating pitch competition. The final round LIVE pitch event was held virtually on October 8, 2020.
