About this Program
The WE* Pitchfest will be a women-only pitch event, featuring female founders from our region. The event will take place on the evening of Thursday, February 21st at the Carlson School of Management in Minneapolis. You must be able to attend the event in person to participate. We do not have a set number of pitch slots open for the event - we will do our best to include as many quality companies as we have time for. Selections will be communicated by January 31st, 2019. If you have any questions about the application or the event, please reach out to Jessica Berg at hellomncup@umn.edu.

WE* has organized more than 30 conferences and events since 2014 with more than 4,500 attendees, while more than doubling the number of women-led teams participating in MN Cup.
