The Blackstone LaunchPad Ideas Competition is designed for undergraduate and graduate students who want to explore entrepreneurship—especially those from underrepresented and under-resourced communities. The deadline to apply is October 24 at 11:59 p.m.
The competition is virtual, hosted on the StartupTree platform, with an in-person event that provides an opportunity to pitch, receive feedback and celebrate with other UC Davis students.
The competition has four tracks:
Social and Climate Impact
Health and Life Science
Consumer Products and Services
General
The UC Davis Round-winning individual or two-person team for each track will take home $1,000 and will advance to the Blackstone LaunchPad Network Round of the Ideas Competition to compete for $10,000 in additional prize money to further develop their idea.
