Pitch Day 2022
NFLPA Pitch Day gives diverse entrepreneurs a chance to present their startup businesses and products to an elite group of judges, athletes and investors.
Join us for the 6th annual Pitch Day on Thursday, April 28, 2022
INNOVATION, INCLUSION & THE INTERSECTION OF ATHLETES
Our mission is to improve the way we do business by empowering entrepreneurs who face barriers and inequities on a daily basis.
Our goal with NFLPA Pitch Day is to connect professional athletes with emerging entrepreneurs, specifically people of color, women and individuals from underrepresented groups. By aligning with the influence and marketing power of NFL players, Pitch Day provides these diverse leaders a platform to pitch their products and ideas – and take their businesses to the next level.
The 6th annual NFLPA Pitch Day will feature six startups led by diverse entrepreneurs who will pitch their innovative products and services to a panel of all-star judges.
