Ashleigh Simons captured a Main Category title in last year’s Wave of Opportunity Pitch Competition, securing a $25,000 grant that allowed her to expand her business, Sade Milan Skin. With this funding, Ashleigh grew her all-natural skincare brand by increasing production capacity and introducing new offerings—helping her reach more customers and strengthen her market presence.
This year, a new group of talented entrepreneurs will take the stage to pitch their ideas and compete for the title. RSVP here to watch the finals of the Pitch Competition on November 17th, 2025, and see who will take home this year’s Main Category title.
