The Trailblazers: Women Innovators Pitch Competition is back—bigger, bolder, and reimagined. We’re inviting changemakers from across the nation to apply for a chance to pitch live in front of top investors, leaders, and corporate decision-makers.

We’re searching for five standout women entrepreneurs who are making waves in their communities and industries. You’ll pitch your business idea in front of a live audience on Friday, August 1, 2025, at UCI Beall Applied Innovation in Irvine, CA, for a chance to win cash prizes and exclusive prize packages.

Even if you’re not selected to pitch, don’t count yourself out. The room will be filled with investors, mentors, and resource providers looking to connect with rising talent—like you.
