Background- 

 Zeta Phi Beta Sorority’s Women Who Win initiative hosted its first International Business Pitch Competition during the Sorority’s Grand Boulé in Nashville, Tennessee.

The event marked a major milestone for the initiative, which began as a business directory and has since grown into a full platform supporting women entrepreneurs.

Seven finalists advanced to the international championship after competing in regional rounds held across the Sorority’s geographic regions.

The entrepreneurs presented their businesses before a panel of judges, business leaders and conference attendees. The competition awarded $10,000 for first place, $5,000 for second, and $2,500 for third.

Maryam Lynch-Tate, International Co-Director of Women Who Win, said working on the initiative’s events has been a rewarding experience that the team hopes will bring lasting value to the businesses involved.

Since launching, Women Who Win has connected hundreds of women-owned businesses across the United States and internationally, built networking and collaboration opportunities among entrepreneurs and corporate partners, and delivered educational programming focused on business development and procurement readiness.

Diana L. Hilaire, International Co-Director of Women Who Win, said the competition goes beyond prize money, calling it an investment in women and a way to create lasting economic impact. She said the initiative remains committed to giving entrepreneurs access to the resources and recognition they need to grow.

Founded in 1920 at Howard University, Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Incorporated continues to support education, economic empowerment and leadership development through initiatives like Women Who Win, which plans to expand through mentorship, corporate partnerships and continued access to capital for women entrepreneurs.
