About this Event
This year's 2026 STARTedUP Challenge Finals at the STARTedUP Summit will be hosted by Butler University & Butler's Lacy School of Business! The top ten entrepreneurial teams who competed in Regionals across the state, will be competing in Indianapolis and pitching their newly-renovated business ideas. These individuals have been carefully selected out of thousands of statewide registrants and will be taking the stage in June to share their innovative pitches and business ideas.
We will be joined by government officials, business leaders, fellow entrepreneurs, educators, and family members. These teams participated in an extensive mentorship-focused bootcamp in May, will travel across Indiana the following week for STARTedUP's INnovation Tour, are invited to enter an exclusive alumni program, and the first place team in Indiana will receive $25,000 in prize money.
Register today to support and experience these amazing young people and future entrepreneurs!
