grey background

Pitchfest Outdoor Edition just dropped the mic on year eight. Two full days at Title Nine HQ of bold women bringing the grit, the gear, and the big ideas. What went down? Pitches, sweat, sisterhood - and a whole lot of “hell yes.”

The stakes? A 2026 purchase order, plus marketing muscle and mentorship for the winners. And for every finalist? A front-row seat in our powerhouse community of women entrepreneurs.

charlene assam

charlene assam

Founder, Luxxefit

D to J cups, rejoice!! Charlene Assam didn’t just start Luxxefit, she rebelled against the bounce. These sports bras are made for full-busted women who are sick of jiggling, shifting, and squeezing into gear that doesn’t fit. No more size-shaming, no more excuses. Just support that moves when we do.

Sam Jex & abby averett

Sam Jex & abby averett

Founder, Saturday Strides

One’s a mountain-town marathoner, the other’s a SoCal surfer. Together, Abby and Sam are the heartbeat behind Saturday Strides, a running brand for women who train hard, live loud, and care as much about community as they do about cadence. Their socks bring the sass and the science. Blister-fighting, bounce-back strong, and cute enough to cause a scene at the starting line.

From her home base in Bend, Oregon, LaPlume’s swimwear is big on function, low on fluff, and made with planet-friendly fabrics. Think timeless prints, compressive fits, and zero fast fashion. Just hardworking suits for women who move.
