About the event

IMPACT Central Indiana and PitchFeast are collaborating to host this incredible event powered by First Internet Bank.

During each event, 10 entrepreneurs will showcase their business or startup to a group of investors and compete for a chance to receive startup capital to help the business grow. The investments are being awarded in the form of low-interest loans, and in the amount(s) of $25,000 for the first prize, $15,000 for the second prize, and $10,000 for the third prize. A fourth prize of $5,000 will also be given to the “audience’s choice.”

Each entrepreneur will be given five minutes to pitch their business to a group of investors and a live audience. In addition to receiving business startup capital, participants will be provided with other wrap-around services aimed at supporting the entrepreneur.

The goal of IMPACT Central Indiana and PitchFeast collaboration is to create an investment pipeline for Brown and Black entrepreneurs, who are normally overlooked when it comes to receiving business startup capital.
