SYRACUSE — The WISE Women’s Business Center will host a pitch party for area female entrepreneurs as part of a national initiative.
The center is partnering with Count Me In for Women’s Economic Independence (CMI) on the effort. The groups will work together to identify promising local businesses owned by women to participate in the Make Mine a Million Pitch Competition and Conference to be held in New York City from July 30 to July 31.
At the July event, a panel of small business experts will pick up to 75 entrepreneurs who will be able to apply to CMI’s Business Accelerator Program, a six-month coaching and education initiative designed to help the companies reach $1 million in revenue within two years. Local pitch parties around the country are meant to help women prepare for the July competition.

The WISE Center will host its local party Wednesday. The event is free. Business owners can RSVP at (315) 443‑3550 or lwickham@syr.edu.
“We are so pleased to bring this exciting opportunity to women business owners in the Central New York region,” says Joanne Lenweaver, director of the WISE Women’s Business Center. “Less than 3 percent of U.S. women-owned businesses grow to $1 million in revenues, which is a great loss in economic potential. We need to provide local women entrepreneurs with the tools and confidence needed to grow, create jobs and foster economic stability for their families and the local economy.”
