Pitchfest Outdoor 2022 Finalists: Our Starting Nine
We’re back at it this September with our fifth (!!!) annual Pitchfest Outdoor Edition!

Back at it with our 2nd annual Pitchfest Nonprofit Edition
For the second year in a row, our minds are blown.
When we started the nonprofit edition of our Pitchfest initiative in 2021, we could only have imagined how many courageous women we’d get to know who are doing the truly hard work of creating impactful programming to support other women.
In this second annual Pitchfest Nonprofit Edition, we’re even more in awe and properly inspired! This year’s applicants shared stories of missions and causes so hard-hitting, we decided to switch up our usual pitch-forward programming and shift gears to a workshop focus where we could dig into new ways to connect in community.
What we really needed was a kitchen table where we could sit with these stories and understand the gritty, practical ways we could help the individual goals of each organization. So we built and filled up our own version of that kitchen table by inviting back a few past finalists and serving up key roundtable discussions with T9 team members, veteran activists, and local leaders. Because we know that it’s not the kitchen table that’s important, it’s who gets in there to pull up a seat.
Before we got down to the nitty-gritty pitching, finalists got to pick up practical strategies in branding and content workshops with T9 marketing pros, ask a bunch of questions in 1:1 mentor meetings, and learn all about power tools at Girls Garage, a local design and construction school.
Now, about those Finalists! (more…)
Mothers of Invention
Some call us creators, inventors, and trailblazers. Others call us “mom.” But we’re a band of women just like you.
We are athletes and designers, product testers and product users, outdoor adventurers
and playground monitors, and we deserve gear that fits our bodies, our lives, our adventures.
For over three decades, we’ve been solving the tricky performance apparel problems for women athletes and adventurers. Let’s call them “Women’s Problems.” (more…)
