# Pitch Black glowup: New identity system, new website, and a new podcast

Last week, you heard — or maybe experienced — a brand new offering from Pitch Black, [Pitch Black Food](https://siliconflorist.com/2025/01/06/pitch-black-launches-pitch-black-food/), where the dessert round team, [Let ’em Cook](https://www.instagram.com/letemcookpdx/) walked away with the win. But that wasn’t the only [new thing for Pitch Black](https://www.pitchblack.org/news/next-era-of-pitch-black) in February. They launched a [new identity system](https://oddnotion.com/pitchblack), the got a [whole new website and URL](https://pitchblack.org), and they launched their [podcast](https://www.pitchblack.org/podcast), as well. Plus, they added a space between “Pitch” and “Black.”

What started as a stage for Black entrepreneurs to pitch their ideas has grown into a movement—one that goes beyond a single event. Today, we’re launching the next evolution of Pitch Black: a new brand, a new website, and a bigger vision for the future.
> 
> Led by **Stephen Green and Jelani Memory**, this new Pitch Black is about more than just a competition. It’s about **building a platform that elevates Black ideas, businesses, and culture**—through events, products, and moments that celebrate the power of Black innovation.
