Even in death, Nipsey Hussle continues to make an impact and give back to his community. In partnership with Earn Your Leisure, the popular business platform, Nipsey is introducing a new $100,000 pitch competition at the third annual Invest Fest event. This grant, named after the late rapper, aims to celebrate and support entrepreneurs by providing them with the resources to expand their businesses.
To make this happen, EYL has teamed up with Microsoft and The Marathon, an organization founded by Nipsey and his team. The judges for the competition include The Marathon's Blacc Sam, Jorge Peniche, and Adam Asghedom, as well as EYL's co-founders and co-CEOs Rashad Bilal and Troy Millings. The top four finalists will have the opportunity to pitch their business ideas on the main stage at Invest Fest 2024, with the chance to win the grand prize of $100,000.
Each finalist will have three minutes to present their business live on stage, accompanied by a visual presentation on the screen. After each presentation, the judges will offer feedback and score the finalists. The winner will be determined by the highest overall score, and will be presented with a $100,000 check on stage.
If you're interested in competing, you have until August 10th to submit your application. Finalists will be notified by August 16th via email. To be eligible, you must be a ticket holder for Invest Fest and create an Instagram video explaining your business and how the grant money can help you achieve your goals. Don't forget to tag @investfestival, @themarathonclothing, and @earnyourleisure in your video.
The highly anticipated Invest Fest 2024 will take place in Atlanta on August 24th and 25th, featuring an impressive lineup of speakers such as Steve Harvey, Daymond John, T.I., and more. It's an event not to be missed, and the perfect opportunity for entrepreneurs to network and learn from successful individuals in various industries.
In related news, Nipsey's longtime partner, Lauren London, recently approved a financial report that grants their son $5.6 million from Nipsey's estate. It's heartwarming to see Nipsey's legacy and generosity live on, even after his passing.
