Pitching at Zinc during Demo Day for Young Women Entrepreneurs

Open Hands Initiative is proud of all the women entrepreneurs who pitched their ideas at a Demo Day hosted by Zain at their Zinc Innovation Campus on October 24. The day featured concise pitches from outstanding American and Jordanian women entrepreneurs who had just undergone a week-long bootcamp course on entrepreneurship. After hearing from experts on the nuts and bolts of running a startup, the women were ready to showcase their businesses on stage. Decks in hand, each one had the opportunity to pitch her company for the chance to win a $25,000 cash prize from Open Hands Initiative.
