About The Impact Challenge

Once selected, the top 1-3 finalists will receive pre-conference mentorship from top VCs and operating executives. Afterward, all team members will have the opportunity to attend Business Today's 49th International Conference in full, culminating in the chance to pitch their startup to a panel of prestigious judges from all areas of the innovation economy. All members of the finalist teams will have an all-expenses-paid experience alongside the rest of the attendees at the International Conference. The winner of the Impact Challenge will have the opportunity to pitch to a partner at Pear VC and be considered for Pear VC's fast-track accelerator program. Past competitors have gone on to join Y-Combinator cohorts, become major VC portfolio companies, and even be recognized as Forbes 30 Under 30 founders!
