We're excited to share that Pikliz Please has been selected as a finalist in the Samuel Adams Brewing the American Dream Rooftop Pitch Room Competition!
On May 21 in New York City, Co-Founders Ioan and Maude Delice will pitch Pikliz Please live to a panel of expert judges for the opportunity to secure additional funding to help grow the business. The competition brings together some of the most promising emerging food and beverage entrepreneurs from across the region, alongside industry leaders, investors, and champions of small business.
While we're excited for the opportunity to compete, we already feel like we've won. Over the past six weeks, we've participated in the Samuel Adams Brewing the American Dream accelerator, learning from industry experts, refining our business strategy, and connecting with an incredible community of fellow founders. Being selected as a Pitch Room finalist is an honor in itself, and as part of the program's graduation, we were awarded a $2,500 grant to support the continued growth of Pikliz Please. For a young business built on culture, community, and flavor, that support means the world to us.
If you're in the area, we'd love your support. Join us for an inspiring evening of entrepreneurship, networking, free beer, and local food while cheering on Pikliz Please and fellow founders.
