Today, it all begins. But before you step into the room this weekend, remember what you’re playing for. 🤝💡

This weekend, we’ll be welcoming 47 companies from 17 states around the country!

At Startup Prize, we don't just hand out a trophy. We look at the big picture. While the $10,000 track cash grand prizes (what we fondly call the "Small Prize") are incredible, the real magic of this weekend lies in the network you build.

Prize #1 is already yours the moment you engage: The invaluable, expert mentorship that will fundamentally harden your business model against market storms. The "Big Prize"? Real, direct investment opportunities from individual investor-judges who aren't just looking at your deck—they’re looking at you, your curiosity, your coachability, and your progress.

This evening kicks off with our welcome mixer. Use it to find your people, select your roundtables for Saturday, and breathe. You aren't building in a vacuum anymore. We are right here with you.

See you today, healthcare disruptors.

💡⚡️If you weren’t paying attention, Startup Prize: Energy hosted our inaugural online qualifying event this past weekend, and it did not disappoint.

27 early-stage energy founders. 12 states. 2 countries. Two days of conversations that actually mattered.

Founders battle-tested go-to-market strategies for selling into utilities, grid operators, and industrial customers. They dug into the real fundraising challenges of building large, complex innovations in a market that doesn't always know how to value them. They sat across from mentors who have actually navigated these walls — and left with more clarity than they came in with.

This is what Startup Prize: Energy is built for.

None of this happens without our incredible mentors. To everyone who showed up and gave these founders your time, expertise, and hard-won experience — thank you. You are the PRIZE:

Mentors:
Andrada Pantelimon
Charlotte H.
William H. McClendon IV
Jade Garrett
Kat Rito
Luly Castillo
Maartje van Krieken
Mark Newberg
Patrick McElroy
Ryan Hawkins

Keynotes:
Eric Drummond J.D.
Greg Guidry

And we're just getting started.

Q2 is happening in person. Shreveport, LA. June 26-28. Same energy, same caliber of mentors and conversations — but all happening in the same room.

And there is still time to be part of it.

$10K cash prize. No equity taken. Travel stipends available.
