WBENC teamed up with our Regional Partner Organizations (RPOs) to find the most innovative solutions around the country. Hosted by the RPOs, WBEs applied for a chance to participate in the Regional First Round Competitions held throughout summer 2022.
WBENCPitch Finalists have the chance to win up to $20K in prize money to invest in their business, thanks to our amazing program sponsors!
