About this Event
Join us for one of MICA's biggest events of the year, the 2025 UP/Start Venture Competition Finale! Watch as eight ventures pitch their way to a portion of $105,000 in funding to launch their creative ventures!
By attending, you'll also have the chance to vote on the People's Choice Award Winner, who will win $5,000. Come support the ventures, be inspired, and celebrate the innovative and future-building ideas of the MICA community.
UP/Start is a MICA initiative that focuses on incubating and building creative business ventures within the MICA community of students and alum. Working with industry partners, the UP/Start Venture Competition provides mentorship and capital to help nurture venture ideas into sustainable businesses.
