2025 Smart Bets Virtual Pitch Competition

Each year, Atlas Network selects ten ambitious, high-achieving pro-liberty organizations from around the world to join an exclusive class we call our Smart Bets. These organizations receive specialized support to help them achieve goals that advance freedom around the world.

We also offer each of these teams a chance to compete for a $50,000 prize in support of their crucial work.

Our 2025 class of Smart Bets partners has been chosen, and now we want to give you the chance to get to know them and their plans to make the world a freer place.

In this special edition of our Freedom Worldwide webinar series, Dr. Tom G. Palmer, a renowned champion of freedom, hosts our Smart Bets Virtual Pitch Competition. This webinar offers you a chance to learn about the amazing pro-freedom projects our partners are putting into action—and how winning the grand prize will supercharge their success.

Each of our ten 2025 Smart Bets partners delivered their pitch for why their organization should be selected to compete for the $50,000 prize at Atlas Network’s Liberty Forum & Freedom Dinner in New York City in November.

After watching all ten partners, be sure to submit your vote for the three organizations you think should advance to the final round: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FA...
