IMPACT PITCH 2026

TICKETS AVAILABLE NOW

Four IMPACT Pitch winners celebrate onstage while holding oversized award checks for Best Early Stage, Best Startup, Best Marketing Video, and Best Established Business.

SEE THE FINAL STAGE OF THE COMPETITION

IMPACT Pitch is the live final of a multi-round competition where entrepreneurs strengthen their business model, sharpen their pitch, and prepare to share what they are building with people who may fund, buy from, refer, or champion their business.

After months of application rounds, review, feedback, coaching, and rehearsal, the 2026 finalists take the stage on October 1 at South Seattle College’s Jerry Brockey Center to pitch for cash prizes.
