Entrepreneur Expo - Bigger & Better in partnership with Tribaja's Diversitech Fest!
We are thrilled to announce our brand new partnership with Tribaja's Diversitech Fest, founded by one of our Founded in Philly alumni, Shannon Morales. Diversitech Fest is a 3 Day Experience designed to give us a better understanding on how people of color can succeed in the tech industry despite the lack of resources. Every day will host both virtual guest panels and conclude with live interactive experiences in Philly. Day 2 of the fest will feature a live activation at expo,
featuring a live stream of our pitch competition!
We are more than half way through our Cannabiz and Ethical Entrepreneurship accelerators here at PSL, and this past week we had our Lightning Pitch Night, in preparation for expo's lightning pitch competition! The pressure was on, but the participants did phenomenal! We're excited to see how everyone uses their feedback to grow and bring their A-Game on May 11th!

“During the course of the 12-week program, the founders were reminded to take a step back and allow the curriculum to reshape the lens with which they looked at their companies. The speakers, mentors and PSL community asked tough questions such as “Is that prospect really the right customer for you?”
and “What types of funding are right for you?”
