Level Up Pitch Competition 2026

WURD Radio’s Level Up pitch competition, coinciding with Women’s History Month, provides female founders with the critical visibility and resources needed to scale their ventures. By connecting local entrepreneurs with corporate leaders and an independent panel of judges, Level Up reinforces WURD’s commitment to being more than just a radio station; it is a launchpad for local innovation.

Five selected finalists will compete live for a $5,000 business-scaling prize package, designed to provide the financial spark necessary to elevate their impact. Partners, including The Pennsylvania Lottery, Bank of America, Comcast, PECO, and TruMark Financial Credit Union, proudly support this program.
