Each quarter, Sonder Impact, which is Sip & Sonder’s 501c3 nonprofit affiliate, hosts a prize competition that provides an opportunity for entrepreneurs to showcase their innovative products, technologies, or services in particular industries. For 1Q 2022, they’re teaming up with Black Ambition and adidas to bring you the adidas x Black Ambition Inglewood Prize Competition in partnership with Sonder Impact!

Black Ambition is a non-profit initiative founded by Pharrell Williams, a visionary recording artist, philanthropist, and entrepreneur, working towards closing the opportunity and wealth gap for Black and Latinx communities through entrepreneurship.

The adidas x Black Ambition Inglewood Prize Competition in partnership with Sonder Impact will provide a platform for Black and Latinx entrepreneurs in Inglewood to access growth capital, pitch feedback, and entrepreneurial training. This Competition is part of the Black Ambition x adidas Opportunity Week, which seeks to activate the 2022 Super Bowl beyond the field by providing empowering experiences for those Inglewood community members who have historically been disproportionately excluded from access to growth capital to launch and scale business ventures.

Eligible applicants consist of Black & Latinx founders with deep connections to the Inglewood community building across four distinct categories: Consumer Products and Services — Media and Entertainment— Healthcare — Technology.

Up to 10 finalists will be selected to participate in a live virtual pitch competition on Friday, February 4th, where a panel of expert judges will award a total of $25,000 to three prize winners.
