RSVP today!
BGV is bringing Pull Up & Pitch to Chicago on May 30th, 2026.
Pull Up & Pitch brings the pitch competition from the “business stage” to your neighborhood, focusing on normalizing business pitching, creating visibility for innovative ideas, supporting small business revitalization, and educating the public on how to ask for and manage finances.
It’s a fast-paced, highly entertaining two-round competition where under-resourced founders, small business owners, and entrepreneurs shoot their shot with a 60-second elevator pitch to access up to $30,000 in grants to grow their businesses on the spot!
