ACE Pitch Competition 2026: Applications Now Open
Hey team!
What a couple of weeks it’s been! We launched our new HQ, celebrated Alejandro’s pitch competition win, watched Manuel move 20,000 pounds of frijoles like a legend, and welcomed some awesome new teammates. Everything is finally coming together—huge congrats!
On that note, here’s a fantastic opportunity. Even if you think you’re not ready yet, go for it. The Brink SBDC is hosting a pitch competition, and I strongly recommend you apply!
🚀 Founders: Applications are OPEN for the ACE Pitch Competition 2026!
Compete for your share of $250,000 in Acceleration Grants, pitch in front of expert judges, and showcase your company at the Elevate 2026 Conference.
If you're ready to scale, this is your moment.
🗓 Deadline: December 12
🔗 Apply here: https://conta.cc/3M3Ce7b
Hosted by The Brink SBDC at USD and funded through CalOSBA’s Accelerate California program.
