The Pitch Day series consists of monthly events designed to give
female entrepreneurs a platform to pitch to a panel of investors
and business leaders for funding. Throughout the series, local HSBC
executives will participate as panelists and provide feedback and
guidance to the entrepreneurs about their business
initiatives. Pitch Day participants will also have access to
advice and support from experienced angel investors, high-net-worth
individuals and business leaders.
“We’re hugely excited about the global expansion of AllBright
and thrilled to continue our partnership with HSBC at our newest
club in Los Angeles,” said Debbie Wosskow, OBE and co-founder of
AllBright. “The success of our London Pitch Days was a testament to
how important the bank’s wealth of business knowledge, global
connections and decades of experience is to helping us achieve our
joint ambition of supporting female entrepreneurs.”
The AllBright partnership is part of HSBC’s wider commitment to
supporting entrepreneurs and helping businesses of all sizes
achieve their objectives.
“HSBC is passionate about breaking down the barriers that female
business leaders face when it comes to funding and growth,” said
Dana Dotoli, Senior Relationship Manager, HSBC Global Private
Banking, Americas. “Knowing that only 2.2% of venture capital goes
to female-led businesses, we’re proud to partner with an
organization that helps provide more funding opportunities for
women. AllBright’s Pitch Days are helping facilitate positive
change so that more businesses can thrive.”
Female founders with early-stage startups are invited to apply
for the program. Applications are welcome from female founded or
(male and female) co-founded companies from all industry sectors.
Successful applicants are likely to be at the minimum viable
product (MVP) stage and beyond, and have secured a minimum of
$150,000 in investment or revenue to date. To learn more about The
AllBright and apply for the Pitch Day program, visit
