About NGLCC LGBTQ Biz Pitch
NGLCC is excited to announce the ninth installment of the “LGBTQ Biz Pitch” entrepreneurial competition plenary – our own version of the ABC hit show Shark Tank – at the 2024 International Business & Leadership Conference in Palm Springs, CA.
​
The application process will be open to both NGLCC Certified LGBT Business Enterprises® (LGBTBEs) and all LGBT entrepreneurs that are eligible and intend to obtain LGBTBE Certification or International LGBTI Supplier Registration through NGLCC. A business must be 51% or more LGBT-owned and -operated in order to be eligible for LGBTBE Certification or International LGBTI Supplier Registration.
Finalists in “LGBTQ Biz Pitch” will present onstage in front of the conference plenary audience during the 2024 International Business & Leadership Conference. Entrepreneurs will be selected to give their best 5-minute presentation on their company, a new or existing product, market, or other innovation with the purpose of gaining valuable feedback from an expert panel of judges. The one-minute pitch videos for each Finalist will be shared during the program in advance of the five-minute onstage presentation.
