ABOUT THE GOLDEN PITCH EVENT SERIES:

BuildOUT California’s Golden Pitch series celebrates LGBT-owned/certified and Allied firms from who have played a special role in driving economic growth throughout the Golden State in the areas of Architecture, Engineering, Construction-services, Real Estate Development and related industries.

After the runaway success of the original Golden Pitch series, we have expanded the program and are thrilled to present 4 distinct new ‘flavors’:

LGBT

ALLY

This BuildOUT California’s Golden Pitch series celebrates Allied-owned/certified firms in the areas of Architecture, Engineering, Construction-services, Real Estate Development and related industries who have made a significant contribution to the LGBT+ community in California.

OWNER

This BuildOUT California’s Golden Pitch series highlights Public Agencies and Utilities owning projects and programs in the areas of Architecture, Engineering, Construction-services, Real Estate Development and related industries.

The Golden Pitch is fueled by California-based Equator Coffees, the first LGBT-Certified company in the history of the United States to be named the National Small Business of the Year!

Each of the Golden Pitch events will showcase a minimum of 3 firms who will follow a highly-specialized format designed to highlight their qualifications, capacity and experience. Each company begins with a presentation, followed by a Q & A segment, and then ends with a one-minute “wrap up” statement.

Our promise to event attendees is that we will start promptly at 8:00am and we will end precisely at 9:00am. Each event is broadcast via the Zoom Meeting platform with the invitation link being included in the confirmation email sent to all registrants.
