TechRise Season 5: Pitch for $25K+
TechRise helps overlooked founders access capital, mentorship, and networks through pitch competitions awarding $25K+ in non-dilutive funding. Each competition features five businesses selected by industry (e.g., FoodTech, FinTech), with founders receiving pitch coaching, mentorship, and ongoing resources.
