Application and Timing
The dates page says registration for 2026 is open, with submissions due April 26, 2026, and finals on May 12, 2026. Observed October 8, 2026, those dates had passed and the page still said registration was open. A 2027 cycle is not listed.
Participants
The eligibility page requires at least one current or former SJSU undergraduate or graduate student with a material role in the plan. Plans written by someone else, prior business-plan-competition winners, outside non-venture funding over $100,000, and companies with both revenue and funding over $100,000 are ineligible.
Funding and Equity
Prize amounts are not stated on the captured pages. Equity terms are not stated.
Recent Activity
The dates page was live on October 8, 2026. Because the printed cycle had ended and the page still said registration was open, current status is unclear.
Known Startups or Winners
The competition homepage congratulates 2025 winners and does not name them in the captured text. 2026 winners are not listed.
Research gaps & things to verify
Verification Gaps
Prize amounts are unpublished. The open-registration line conflicts with the passed 2026 finals date.
