TAASB's Inaugural Pitch-Event Unveils Entrepreneurial Excellence
What a memorable evening at the Thriving African-American Small Business Initiative's (TAASB) Pitch-It graduation event!?
Thirteen talented entrepreneurs took the stage, weaving dreams into compelling business pitches that left all our attendees inspired. The energy was electric as we listened to their visions unfold. Each participant brought a unique perspective, reflecting the diversity and innovation bubbling across Southeast Louisiana.
In just its first cohort, TAASB generated over $150,000 in immediate business capital for participants, injecting life into their growing enterprises. TAASB is more than just grants. It represents an investment in dreams, in local talent, and in the vibrancy of our Black business community.
Congratulations to our participants on achieving your TAASB goals.
