Jefas on the Move 2026: Graduation & Pitch Day
Jefas on the Move Graduation & Pitch Day is the flagship annual event of The Latina Foundation’s 12-week business accelerator—created for Latina founders who are building from idea to early-stage growth.
On Saturday, July 11, 2026, we gather in Austin, Texas for a powerful, high-energy experience celebrating the next generation of Latina entrepreneurs.
This year’s event will spotlight 15 graduating founders as they take the stage to pitch their businesses live, share their journeys, and compete for a $1,500 pitch prize.
More than a graduation, this is a moment of visibility, recognition, and community—bringing together founders, mentors, sponsors, and supporters for a day rooted in growth, storytelling, and opportunity.
