Who will be attending this summit?

Unlike traditional events where sponsorship dollars are absorbed by overhead, our dual-engine model allocates 40% directly into philanthropic grant capital given to entrepreneurs live on stage, and 60% into high-impact education, capacity building, and toolkits for attendees.

A total of $14,000 in direct cash grants will be awarded live during the event:

  • $10,000 for the main "Outta Excuses" Top Grant.

  • $4,000 total split across 1st ($2,500), 2nd ($1,000), and 3rd place ($500) winners in the Marketing & Branding Pitch Competition.


The event brings together over 250 live attendees—primarily small business owners, decision-makers, underserved founders, and community leaders—along with a digital reach of over 10,000 subscribers.


What high-profile speakers and performers are featured?

The summit features R&B singer/songwriter Tweet (Charlene Keys) as cultural catalyst and guest performer, Precious L. Williams (Perfect Pitch Group) as master pitch coach and judge, and celebrity marketing/branding executive Gabby Jones.


Can my brand present an award on stage?

Yes! Corporate partners joining at the Legacy Visionary Partner level ($6,000 - $10,000+) hold the exclusive right to walk onto the main stage and present the $10,000 Top Grant directly to the winning entrepreneur alongside Founder Autrina Tillman.
