Cape Town is Calling: The AWS x Women in Tech Pitch Night 🗽
Pitch for a funded trip to Cape Town, get AWS mentorship, or just come for the open bar and connections. (Deadline: Monday!)
NYC Tech is built in real rooms. This March, the room is at Amazon.
We talk a lot about the power of showing up. Whether you’re early-stage, scaling, or just getting started, the biggest opportunities usually happen when you stop scrolling and start talking.
Sikirat from the AWS Global Startups team reached out with an opportunity that’s too good not to share with the Startup+ community.
On March 26th, AWS and Global Women in Tech® are taking over Amazon JFK27 for a high-stakes Pitch Competition and one of the best networking nights of the month.
Here’s the deal:
For the Pitchers: Early-stage, women-led startups will pitch to top-tier judges. The prize? 3-4 winners get a fully-funded trip to the Women in Tech Global Summit in Cape Town (April 28–30) plus AWS mentorship through June.
The Catch: The application deadline to pitch is this Monday, March 16th. If you’ve been looking for a sign to get your deck in front of the right people, this is it.
For the Rest of Us: You don’t need to be on stage to win. Come for the energy, stay for the connections. There’s a networking happy hour afterward with an open bar and bites.
