RISE Pitch Fest: HERizon – From Vision to Venture!

About the Session: HERizon – From Vision to Venture! is a special pitching platform hosted as part of the RISE PECOWorld Summit 2026 in partnership with Sangatna Angels. Selected founders will get an opportunity to present their ventures before experienced entrepreneurs, investors, and ecosystem leaders.

Pitch Fest outcome

The inaugural HERizon Pitch Fest brought together a first cohort of women entrepreneurs for a focused, founder-first conversation with Sangatna Angels. The session moved beyond a formal pitch room into practical feedback, mentor matching, funding-readiness conversations and follow-up support. Participants were invited to sharpen their founder story, clarify traction and business models, and continue as a cohort inside the PECOWorld ecosystem.
