Pathway to Opportunity Pitch Contest
Pathway to Opportunity
About the Grant
Pathway to Opportunity is a competition designed to connect small businesses with corporations seeking to expand their supply chain with innovative products and services.
Through Pathway to Opportunity, we aim to do more than provide a seat at the table—we strive to open doors and build relationships that can lead to long-term, sustainable contracts.
Finalists are selected to pitch their businesses in front of a virtual audience, and three winners receive prizes of $5,000.
Notes
This pitch competition was formerly called the National Black Business Pitch but was renamed Pathway to Opportunity in 2025 and eligibility was expanded to include any small businesses in need of support.
The 2025 application has passed but this is an annual program. Check back periodically for updates about 2026 application windows
