Where Innovation Meets Opportunity: The Pitch Perfect Challenge
The Pitch Perfect Challenge connects disability-owned businesses with global companies to unlock innovation, partnerships, and economic opportunity. Apply now.
Turn Disability-Driven Innovation into Opportunity
As markets evolve, innovation is becoming an increasingly important factor in business success. And that innovation often comes from those closest to the challenges being solved for.
Disability-owned businesses are a clear example. Today, they drive more than $5 billion in economic impact and support over 21,000 jobs. They bring lived experience, adaptive thinking, and a practical understanding of unmet needs in the market. Many are early adopters of new technologies, using them to increase productivity and expand what’s possible. Disabled entrepreneurs are building solutions that improve how work gets done, how products are designed, and how customers are served.
What’s often missing is access to customers, partners, and opportunities to grow.
Connecting Innovation to Opportunity
That’s where the Disability:IN Pitch Perfect Challenge comes in.
The Challenge gives disability-owned businesses with the visibility, relationships, and support needed to grow. Through a multi-round competition, entrepreneurs pitch their businesses to a panel of judges and corporate leaders for the opportunity to unlock prizes, executive development, and real pathways to business growth. All certified Disability Owned Business Enterprises (DOBEs) are eligible to apply.
