Post a startupFunding and Equity
The center home page does not list a UK-funded prize. The April 2025 article says the statewide GSE Collegiate Pitch, held March 1, 2025 at Thomas More University, awarded a $44,000 pool. UK teams named as winners received $5,000, $4,000, and $3,000 from that statewide competition, not from a figure the article attributes to VACE. Bootcamp stipend and equity terms are not stated.
