Naturally Rising: The Conscious Business Pitch Competition
Formerly known as Pitch Slam, Naturally Rising has evolved into a competition that not only showcases emerging, purpose-driven brands but also celebrates leaders in the conscious business industry. This event highlights companies that embrace the Naturally Network’s quintuple bottom line — the 5 Ps:
- Passion – The enthusiasm and dedication of founders toward their product and mission
- Purpose – The company’s mission and the impact it has in addressing a specific issue or need
- People – The company’s focus on community, customer, and team dynamics
- Planet – The company’s commitment to sustainability and environmental responsibility
- Prosperity – The company’s ability to achieve financial success and market viability while maintaining ethical practices
Naturally Rising places a strong emphasis on retail readiness, ensuring that the businesses competing are not only purpose-driven but also prepared for growth and success in the marketplace. From regional competitions to the national stage, culminating in a pitch experience at Newtopia Now — a show known for supporting emerging brands. This competition is designed to help elevate companies that can thrive in today’s conscious economy.
Innovation Showcase
Pitch Slam also provides scores of new and established member brands with the opportunity to share new products and services in the Innovation Showcase, our tabletop exhibition.
