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.

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.”
