Small businesses play a vital role in strengthening our local economy, creating jobs, and shaping the character of our community. That is why TAPCO Credit Union is proud to serve as the presenting sponsor of The Pitch, a live business competition hosted by Tacoma Rising.
On Thursday, February 19th, 2026, ten emerging South Sound businesses will take the stage to pitch their ideas in front of a panel of regional business leaders for a chance to win a $10,000 business grant. The event brings together entrepreneurs, investors, and community supporters for an evening focused on innovation, connection, and local growth.
The Pitch is more than a competition. It is an opportunity for small businesses to gain visibility, share their stories, and build meaningful relationships within the Tacoma business community. For attendees, it offers a chance to support local entrepreneurs while connecting with fellow business leaders and community members.
