Sierra College Ignite+Empower - Pitch Showcase

​Join us for Sierra College's Ignite and Empower's Spring 2026 cohort Pitch Showcase. Our founders will be presenting their business and investment ideas to the community, as they seek feedback, advice, and other forms of support to ensure they lift off and grow.

​Light breakfast will be served, and garage parking is available for $3 on the northeast end of campus.

​The Sierra College Ignite and Empower Program, led by entrepreneurs-in-residence from GFN: Growth Factory Nonprofit, provides seed funding, structured guidance, and bespoke mentorship with the goal of directing students to research and validate their business ideas, build a resourced network of early-adopters and partners, and develop self-sufficiency through the founding of a microenterprise. Upon completion of securing essential customer validation and delivering a pitch by the end of the program, students will receive a $500 microgrant in the form of financial aid.
