    Application and Timing

    The current S4 page describes a 2026 ten-week cycle from May through July, with Demo Day and graduation scheduled for July 28, 2026. The live registration page should be checked for current deadlines.

    Participants

    The retained sources identify SUNY faculty, undergraduate and graduate students, staff, and affiliated startup leaders as participants. The 2025 investment guidelines narrowed Catalyst eligibility to teams developing SUNY intellectual property and completing licensing milestones.

    Funding and Equity

    S4 participation provides indirect funding support through grant development and access to TAF. No retained source says ordinary participation takes equity. Selected 2025 TAF Catalyst Investments used convertible notes or SAFEs.

    Recent Activity

    As observed June 22, 2026, the official S4 page listed completed sessions through June 16 and upcoming sessions, office hours, and Demo Day. It also reported 1,243 entrepreneurs trained, 25 companies formed, more than $24.8 million in non-dilutive funding secured by alumni, and 44 participating campuses; these are first-party program metrics.

    Known Startups or Winners

    The supplied research report names SupreMEtric as a past winner, but direct winner evidence was not retained in this pass.
