The BFN Black Career Conference Pitch Competition 2026 will take place in Toronto on January 24, 2026, and it puts idea-stage Black founders on the spot to pitch for funding in front of judges, investors, and a live audience. If you want a clear view of what Black entrepreneurship in Canada looks like right now, this is one event to look out for.
The event offers “thousands of dollars in funding” for founders who pitch on stage.
BFN Black Career Conference Pitch Competition 2026 sets clear means for attendees. You can expect early founder pitches, judge and investor interaction, live audience feedback, and networking built into the event.
You will learn what founders must get right early, since the event also promises lessons on building and launching minimum viable products or services. That matters because many founders fail at the early build phase, not the late scale phase.
BFN Black Career Conference Pitch Competition 2026 pushes two things at once. It pushes funding into idea-stage teams, and it pushes community ties between founders and people who can open doors. In plain terms, founders get a chance to pitch, get seen, and meet people who can help after the event.
It also fits the larger mission many readers already understand. Black Founders Network aims to grow the number of successful Black entrepreneurs in tech through programs and events that build skills and connections.
