SACRAMENTO EVENT

$5K Startup Grant for Black Women

2023 APPLICATIONS ARE NOW OPEN.

The Pepper Startup Grant is specifically for Black women business owners, a dynamic group that has been systematically disenfranchised when seeking to acquire the necessary venture capital funding to expand their businesses. We’re here to change that.

One recipient will receive a zero strings attached $5,000 financial grant and the following benefits:

• Mentorship calls with the Founders of Pepper
• Dedicated promotion on Pepper’s social media accounts
• Access to consultations with experts in legal, fundraising, finance, marketing, website, and relevant fields as needed, to address your specific needs

We’re excited to partner with Startup Girl Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit venture capital fund investing in female founders to administer the grant.

Applications are now open and close on August 23, 2023 11:59pm MT.

Five semi-finalists will be announced by October 9, 2023 via email.
