EOSERA Announces Boozy Bites as the First-ever EmpowHERment Pitch Competition Winner
Boozy Bites walked away with $10K of seed money after competing with two other companies, Heralogie and PWR WMN. Attendees voted for The People’s Choice Award winner, and PWR WMN won the $2,500 award.
Three companies competed at EOSERA’s inaugural EmpowHERment Pitch Competition in Fort Worth on November 17th, 2022, but only one walked away with the $10K grand prize. After pitching for 8 minutes with 4 minutes of Q&A, 3 qualified judges selected founder Dee Dee Bryant of Boozy Bites as the first EmpowHERment Pitch Competition winner.
Boozy Bites, a woman-led company, is the world’s first premium edible cocktail. Formulated by one of the nation’s top scientists, Boozy Bites’ proprietary gel is vegan and wine based—and the best part—every Bite comes in their patented push up cup.
Boozy Bites competed against Heralogie, a woman-led company that helps menstruators feel unparalleled comfort, security, and peace of mind with their unique, tree-based, breathable period panties that mold to your body. Boozy Bites also competed against PWR WMN—the people’s choice award winner of $2,500—another woman-led company that makes blazers with pockets that are functional and feminine.
EOSERA’s EmpowHERment Pitch Competition will be an annual competition held during Global Entrepreneurship Week every November. 2022 was the competition’s first year and is supported by presenting sponsor, Simmons Bank, and partners Satori Capital, BioLabs, Fort Worth Report, Tech Fort Worth, and UNT Health Science Center.
