The Women in AV & Tech entrepreneurship prize is a global competition supporting early-stage women founders with bold ideas and serious execution potential.
This initiative aims to back builders, not just ideas, and to create real opportunities for women founders in the AV ecosystem.
The program is looking for founders who know their market, can think rigorously about execution, and are committed to building a real business.
Benefits of Participation
- The winner will receive a $15,000 cash prize
- The winner may also receive visibility and optional follow-up conversations with the jury or sponsor (not a promise of investment).
Eligibility for Participation
- The competition is open globally to Woman-led or woman-founded projects
- Teams or solo founders
- Companies or projects in AV or closely related fields (media tech, collaboration, live events, workplace tech, immersive, etc.)
- Idea stage, pre-seed, or very early stage ventures. Companies must be no more than 2 years old.
You do not need revenue or a finished product. You do need a real problem, a credible solution, and a serious intent to build a business.
