Post a startupFunding and Equity
Each selected team can receive a stipend totaling $5,000 if milestones are completed. The program ends in a regional collegiate pitch for a portion of a $50,000 prize purse. The page does not say how the purse is divided or whether equity is taken. The same page's FAQ says readers should stay tuned for 2026 program information, while the body lists a 2026 application and a Friday, April 3 deadline.
Recent Activity
The Launch USA page was live when captured on 2026-10-08 with those 2026 application statements and the FAQ caveat.

Research gaps & things to verify
Missing Information
Purse breakdown, equity, the Innovation Portal's separate terms, and a resolved 2026 calendar. An older Coastal Pitch rules page was not used for current prize amounts because its captured how-it-works dates were from 2023.
