(BPT) - Women own nearly 50% of all U.S. businesses, yet they only receive 2% of venture capital (VC) funding, a tiny piece of the pie. Stacy's® Pita Chips, a brand committed to the financial empowerment of women business owners, is proud to champion these entrepreneurs to get a bigger piece of the funding pie through the launch of the 2024 Stacy's Rise Project. In addition to awarding 15 deserving founders a $25,000 grant, mentorship and community resources, this year the brand brings attention to this statistic with Stacy's Rise Pies, available for purchase now on StacysRise.com.
