You heard us right - Pitchfest is back for its 9th year and we are cranking it up to be our biggest, most adventurous showdown yet! Last fall, we brought the noise (and the grit, and the gear) to Title Nine HQ for two full days of pitching, sweat, and sisterhood. Pitchfest is where bold women bring their game-changing products and powerful stories to the table - and leave with new connections, real momentum, and serious opportunities.
What’s on the line? A 2027 purchase order for the winners as well as marketing support & continued mentorship. And for all finalists: access to our powerhouse community of women entrepreneurs.
100% women-powered. High-energy. Low ego. Join us!

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.
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.
Founder, Saturday Swimwear
At Saturday Swimwear, Emily LaPlume does it all. She’s a founder, designer, and planet-protector rolled into one. 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.
Founder, Tobiq
Mom of four, mastermind of compartments, and queen of controlled chaos. Mel Frandsen created TOBIQ to bring order to the packing madness. With three patents and zero tolerance for black-hole bags, her smartly designed duffels keep gear sorted, socks accounted for, and families adventure-ready, whether it’s a powder day or a rowdy family picnic.
