Post a startupFunding and Equity
The center says the pitch competition awards cash prizes. The current competition page does not publish amounts, so no prize figure is recorded. The incubator says it provides prototype funding and does not state the amount or an equity term. The Zone page does not list a grant.
Recent Activity
The latest dated pitch event captured is February 13, 2025. The incubator page still shows a Fall 2025 application deadline and no later cycle. The center, pitch, incubator, and Zone pages were all public on October 8, 2026.
Known Startups and Winners
The incubator page says LiquidIV, Abstract, Craftmix, Nabthat, and Maya launched through the course, and it says LiquidIV was sold to Unilever. It does not date those companies. Current pitch winners are not on the competition page.
Research gaps & things to verify
Missing Information
Current pitch dollar amounts. A 2026 or 2027 incubator deadline. Whether the Zone maker space is open. BEST Bootcamp's captured page stops at a January 2026 session and was not listed separately.
