Jacaranda FM Calls For #HerPerfectPitch2024 Entries. Get ready, Mzansi! Jacaranda FM is once again shining the spotlight on female entrepreneurs with the launch of #HerPerfectPitch2024. This incredible competition is set to transform one deserving businesswoman’s life, offering over R2m in business assistance this Women’s Month.

Calling all female entrepreneurs who’ve been in business for at least a year – this is your chance to refine your perfect elevator pitch and win a life-changing prize! Deirdre King, managing director of Jacaranda FM, highlights the significance of this initiative: “Women who are purposeful in bolstering the economy are also hiring other women, creating stronger communities of female entrepreneurs as they connect through #HerPerfectPitch2024.”

How to enter

1. Visit Jacaranda FM and share: What your business is about, why your business is important, how it gives back to the community and what assistance you need to bring your business purpose to life

2. Submit a complete company profile, including details about your business, staff, and a business plan.

Entries are open from 1 August 2024 to 31 August 2024.

The competition journey

  • Top 30 Selection: From all entries, 30 exceptional entrepreneurs will be selected. These top 30 will meet at a special breakfast event, where they’ll participate in a pitching workshop.
  • Top 10 Finalists: From the top 30, a distinguished panel will choose the top 10 businesses. These finalists will present their elevator pitches and business overviews in a ‘shark-tank’-style setting.
  • Final Showdown: The top three will be selected, with the grand winner announced at a special #HerPerfectPitch event and on-air during Jacaranda FM’s award-winning show, Breakfast with Martin Bester.

Each of the top 10 finalists will also receive R100,000 worth of airtime on Jacaranda FM!

Our prize has mentorship baked in,” adds King.
