StartUp Humboldt Final Pitch Competition: A Celebration of Innovation

Be part of a landmark evening at the historic Eureka Theater as finalists from the inaugural StartUp Humboldt Competition present their ventures live before a panel of judges and a community audience.

Selected from 108 applicants, these entrepreneurs have completed an intensive education and mentorship phase led by Cal Poly Humboldt, College of the Redwoods, and the North Coast SBDC. Now, they will compete for access to up to $200,000 in milestone-based funding designed to accelerate business growth and create high-quality jobs across far Northern California.

The finalists represent a diverse cross-section of industries and reflect the depth of talent and determination shaping the next chapter of Humboldt’s economic future.

This evening is more than a pitch competition — it is a celebration of innovation, entrepreneurship, and community. Your presence strengthens the ecosystem that supports local founders and fuels opportunity across the North Coast.

Join us for an inspiring night of bold ideas, meaningful impact, and the entrepreneurs building what’s next.

Know what’s Happening Next — before everyone else does.
