IGNITE’s 2nd Annual Fire Pitch Competition is scheduled on October 25, 2018. We’re hard at work building on last year’s success to make this year ‘s event even more exciting! A stellar group of Advisors from across the nation have committed to spread the word to potential applicants as well as offering to help with selection and mentoring. We are also working to attract investors to enhance the prizes including potential investments and in-kind packages that will be awarded on the night of our event.

About this Program
The Annual Fire Pitch Competition is an initiative to spotlight the nation’s best women-led digital health startups. We hope to build a platform that connects women entrepreneurs and strengthens the healthcare innovation ecosystem by addressing funding disparities between men and women. Fire Pitch Competition is held in partnership with the IGNITE Healthcare Network and the Greater Houston Women’s Chamber of Commerce (GHWCC). We are also proud to have Texas Medical Center Innovation Institute (TMCx) and Houston Technology Center (HTC) as event partners.

Finalists will receive an invitation to pitch to a group of healthcare executives from the Houston/Austin area including the world renown Texas Medical Center's facilities as well as investors from across the country on October 25th at IGNITE Healthcare Network's second annual Fire Pitch competition held at TMCx. 

The finalists will compete for the $15,000 grand prize along with other perks to help accelerate growth. In addition to money, our partners and sponsors will also be offering mentorship, coaching, media features, and technology support. In order to qualify, companies must have at least one female in an executive role: founder, CEO, COO, CTO, or CMO, and be operating for twelve months or more. All entries must be received by August 17, 2018, in order to qualify.
