Last week we partnered with The Grindery to host the 2025 Hustle Forward Pitch Competition. Congratulations to the winners: 1st Place Candy Butler-McSwine, People's Choice Britteny Weathers and Greatest Promise Winner Theresa Peterson. The winners took home over $500 in prize money and 15 hours of mentorship.

A very special thank you to our judges: Charlie Garcia, Bryce Orr, Irma Neal and Dr. Hicks for providing their expertise and support. We hope you all will join us next year.
