Startup Challenge 2020 Application Deadline

Startup Challenge is a community service organized by the Institute for Innovation and Economic Development at Calfornia State University Monterey Bay.

Who is eligible?

• Start-ups (not yet operational) and emerging (in launch phase) businesses may apply.
• Businesses must be located in the Monterey Bay region (Monterey, San Benito, or Santa Cruz counties).
• The business idea must be your original work (your business, not someone else’s and not a franchise of another business).

You need to sign up in your division first to apply for the Challenge. After you register, you can then start the application or return at another time to start your application. Registration will help us keep you informed on any updates to this year’s Challenge. After you register you are eligible to attend Creating a Successful Pitch workshop. The schedule for these workshops will be listed on the Introductory Workshops page. The Pitch workshops will be held during  March, 2020.
