We’re thrilled to share an exciting milestone for Posie Pots —we won First Place in the Products Division of the 2025 WBENC Pitch ACCELERATE National Competition!
This award is especially meaningful because it recognizes exactly what we care about most: bringing simple, beautiful, and steady plant care to everyday life through thoughtful design.
The official announcement from WBENC can be found here.
What WBENC Pitch Award Means
The WBENC Pitch ACCELERATE Competition is a national event that celebrates women-owned businesses who are pushing boundaries through innovation and real-world impact.
Winning First Place in the products category means:
Our design is recognized on a national level
Our mission of simplifying plant care resonates deeply
Our engineering approach is viewed as meaningful innovation
Our brand is contributing to the future of women-led entrepreneurship
It’s an incredible honor — and a strong validation of the work our small St. Louis team pours into Posie Pots every day.
Why Posie Pots Stood Out
At the competition, judges looked for:
Innovation
Storytelling
Community impact
Problem-solving
Design + functionality
Posie Pots presented a new idea for modern plant care: a planter that looks beautiful from the outside, while quietly supporting plant health from within.
Our signature features include:
A once-a-month watering system
A seamless, one-piece reservoir design
Lightweight, drop-resistant material
Fully organic, corn-based PLA
Shapes designed for modern, calming home aesthetics
It’s a combination that makes plant care feel less stressful and more intuitive — whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned plant parent.
Founder Kay Wells on the Win
“This award reinforces something we’ve believed from day one — plant care should feel calming, not overwhelming. We created Posie Pots to make that possible for busy homes, small apartments, and anyone who wants greenery without the stress.” — Kay Wells, Founder of Posie Pots
Why This Matters to You

✔ You’re choosing a nationally recognized product
✔ Your planter is validated for both design and engineering
✔ You're supporting a certified women-owned business
✔ You’re part of a community that values thoughtful, sustainable living
Awards like this help strengthen trust, confidence, and long-term innovation in the products you bring into your home.
