Startup of the Year helps diverse,
emerging startups, founding teams, and entrepreneurs push their
company to the next level. We are a competition, a global
community, and a resource.
Startup of the Year is also a year-long program that searches
the country for a geographically diverse set of startups from all
backgrounds and pulls them together to compete for the title of
Startup of the Year.
The program includes a number of in-person and virtual events,
including our annual South By Southwest startup pitch event and
competition. All of which culminate at our annual Startup of the
Year Summit, where the Startup of the Year winner is announced,
along with an opportunity at a potential investment.
