Pepperdine University’s annual startup competition is coming up. Winners earn a spot on the annual Most Fundable Companies List, which garners national publicity and recognition. Last year’s list was published in Entrepreneur Magazine.

It’s all completely free. Affiliation with Pepperdine is NOT required. The only requirements are that the companies be based in the United States and have less than $10 million in revenue.

The first round of the competition is a short questionnaire about the company’s basic information that the founders will know off the top of their head. It can be easily completed on a mobile device in around 8 minutes. The deadline for completing the first round is Feb 28, 2019.

Founders of U.S. based companies that make the 2019 Most Fundable Companies List will be invited to their gala event in Malibu in October. All companies that advance to the second round of the competition will receive a free detailed feedback report on how they can make their company more attractive to investors.
