IMPACT Pitch 2026
IMPACT Pitch is Business Impact NW’s regional business competition for entrepreneurs in Alaska, Idaho, Oregon, and Washington.
More than 200 entrepreneurs entered this year’s competition, only 10 will make it to the final round. Throughout four months and five competitive rounds, entrepreneurs are challenged to make the case for their business, from the value and community impact they create, to their operations strategy, and financial feasibility.
Each will share the impact their business brings to the community and make the case for how prize funding could help them do even more. The live event includes finalist pitches, judges’ questions, awards, food and drinks, music, and networking.
