Post a startupFunding and Equity
The Cowboy Technologies investment page says the Riata Pre-Seed Fund provides up to $25,000 for currently enrolled OSU students and opens three times a year. The page uses the word investment. It does not state whether the award takes equity. Other Riata programs describe coaching rather than a published prize table.

Missing Information
The live initiatives page was bot-walled, so competition branding and Greiner dates should be rechecked in a browser. Equity terms for the pre-seed fund are not stated.
