JACARANDA FM AND ACCESS BANK SOUTH AFRICA PRESENT WOMENPRENEUR #HERPERFECTPITCH 2023

Jacaranda FM and Access Bank South Africa are calling on all female entrepreneurs who have been in business for no less than 1 year to enter Womenpreneur Her Perfect Pitch 2023. This competition offers a chance to win a life-changing prize and gain valuable business experience.

To elevate female entrepreneurs in the spirit of Women’s month, Jacaranda FM and Access Bank South Africa have launched Womenpreneur Her Perfect Pitch 2023 for the second year in a row. The beloved radio station with over 1,2 million listeners and Access Bank continue to champion the women of Mzansi by giving them the tools and resources to break boundaries.

“To enter, women can head to www.jacarandafm.com to tell us what their business is about, why their business is important, how it gives back to the community, and what help they think their business needs to see their business purpose come to life” says Deirdre King, Managing Director of Jacaranda FM and architect of #HerPerfectPitch. A complete company profile including more detail about the business, the staff compliment, and a business plan should also be included in the submission.

The banking and entertainment leaders are the first to collaborate to create a meaningful campaign with tangible business assistance to Womenpreneurs by perfecting their ‘elevator pitch’ and taking their business to the next level by winning a prize package worth over R1 million.

“As a women-led business we understand the unique challenges faced by businesswomen. By sharing our expertise and providing women with a platform to refine their business and possibly win a once in a lifetime prize, Access Bank has joined Jacaranda FM to elevate Womenpreneurs.” Says Sugendhree Reddy, CEO of Access Bank.

Each panellist will share varying yet business-critical advice with these women. Dierdre King will unpack the business model from a leadership point of view, and Jane Ruinard will share insight into the commercial aspects of their business.
