2024 Winner
“The Startup Challenge transformed our business from the moment we applied. It united our team, sharpened our market positioning and drove significant inbound interest. Reaching the top 3 helped close crucial deals, and winning helped us double our sales since the contest began. The investor interest we've gained allows us to be more selective in choosing the right partners to help drive our growth.”

2023 Winner
“The Startup Challenge is really the gift that keeps on giving. We just raised a massive Series A, and it started the day after winning the challenge and being on stage. The exposure is second to none. [Snowflake] is really telling the story that if you build on top of Snowflake you’re better, faster, stronger, more valuable. I think these companies are going to benefit a lot from that.”
