Where are my veteran entrepreneur friends at?  Rice University is hosting the Veterans Business Battle for the 10th year in a row.  You only have a little time to apply! I believe applications are due by Feb. 13th https://lnkd.in/gDZ2m_aq This was the first event I entered as an entrepreneur! I never put a pitch together or a pitch deck.  Since this event, I have been able to 10X my revenue and 8X my profit from what they were at that time. Looking back it was a great experience.  At the time, it was a ton of pressure and the event really pushed me out of my comfort zone.  A few major takeaways: - I was interviewed by WFAA Midday and was on the Big Screen outside Victory Park. (thanks to Sara Yonker) - Forced me to put together my very first pitch deck and real business plan.  I had a lean business plan but that was all. I was able to see the potential in my business and I now had distribution channels I wanted to shoot for. - Connected me with many other veteran entrepreneurs whom I could relate to, who shared with me many other events for veteran entrepreneurs. Starting a business can be lonely and hard. At the time I was a solo entrepreneur. I didn't win the pitch contest but I did walk away with $1,000 for Best Business Booth. I also was offered $50k from one of the investors in the audience for my sugar-free sweetener, FirstRate's recipe and procedures, which I developed with the help of my biochemist sister!  It’s the secret ingredient behind why my products taste so great and have a minimal impact on your blood glucose levels! I told them, "You are crazy for me to give this up because it’s worth a lot more than that! Watch me, I will prove it to you." But for me to hear at the beginning that others were interested in what I was doing was just the push I needed.  #veteranbusiness #pitchcontest #pitchcompetition

Navigating the venture fundraising market is pretty hard. Add to this the additional barrier of being a women-led business, and the odds literally seem stacked against you. I'm thrilled to announce that 'Founded by Her' is BACK, and our second cohort is now open to applications. Applications for the cohort kicking off in September are open across July. Open exclusively for up to 15 women-led businesses, KPMG UK Private Enterprise: "Founded by Her" gives actionable advice to prepare and position your business for a Series A round. The 4-month fully-funded programme provides: - an understanding of the nuances of Series A (and how it differs from previous rounds) - ensures your business has the right foundations in place - gives direct access to top-tier Series A investors who share insights into their triage and DD processes - all whilst supported by your own peer group, industry experts, experienced entrepreneurs and, of course, KPMG. If this resonates with you and you’re looking to launch a Series A fundraise in 6-12 months, then this programme is for you! Read more about the programme, including the amazing feedback we’ve had from our first cohort, in the link below 👇 You’ve got until Wednesday, 31st July, to apply – good luck! And if it's not right for you, please pay it forward and share it with a founder for whom it might just be 💜 #FoundedbyHer #seriesa #programme #fundraising #KPEAccess KPMG | Acceleris Patrick Molyneux Helen Werchola Amy Burnett Nicole Lowe Kirsty Smith Amy Todd James Whyman Nick Hawkins Simon Thorn Sam Luckett Jasnam Ghudhail ASCI Tom Bennett Jill Hilton Josie Hart Anna Purchas Graham Pearce Emily Aiken Shashi Prashad Mike Linter Greg Limb Christie Scarlett Walker Millie Pryke Sie Yin Poh Troy Wood Artem Fedosov Yasin Doodhwala

Today is the day! Today we take back ownership of our culture. Today we’re launching our investment crowdfunding campaign at PYNRS Performance Streetwear! We’re tired of corporations borrowing from our culture to seem cool, so we’re taking ownership to the people. The mission of this campaign is to give us all access to ownership opportunities, specifically with PYNRS, so we can continue to be a proud, Black-run (pun intended!) brand that meets the unmet needs of runners of color. Because - did you know: 🤯 96% of running industry owners are white 😠 Only 1% of senior management are Black We’re bringing Black ownership to an industry where it doesn’t exist. If you believe in that too, become part of the PYNRS  investor family today and when we’re successful, you’ll be successful, too. To owning the future, Sid https://lnkd.in/e3TgPe56
