Join Us for the Next Road to LionCage - September 11

Road to LionCage is a series of intimate pitch competitions leading up to the main event – LionCage – in November 2025. Each Road to LionCage event spotlights a specific category, and the September 11 session is an “open” category where all entrepreneurs regardless of industry sector are welcome to apply. We’ll have an informative panel discussion featuring successful entrepreneurs and business leaders followed by a pitch competition and closing reception where we’ll announce our winner and runner-up! The winner receives $500 and a ticket to pitch at LionCage in November, and our runner-up receives $250.



Guests are welcome and encouraged to attend, cheer on their favorite entrepreneur, listen to an inspiring panel discussion, and make new connections with business and community leaders.

Join us as we celebrate and support start-ups and entrepreneurs who are driving innovation and business success across southeastern Pennsylvania. Space is limited.
