Startup Summit 2026 was a night to remember!

This year, more than $100,000 in cash and in-kind prizes were awarded to support innovative ventures and bold ideas brought to life by entrepreneurs from Mississippi and across the United States. Each presentation reflected the passion, preparation, and creativity that continue to drive entrepreneurial growth and innovation.

Beyond the competition, Startup Summit created opportunities for meaningful connections, collaboration, and community engagement. From conversations between founders, students, investors, and business leaders to celebrating the achievements of this year’s competitors, the event showcased the power of entrepreneurship to inspire and create impact.

Thank you to our participants, sponsors, judges, staff, and attendees for making Startup Summit 2026 such an incredible success. We are proud to continue supporting entrepreneurs and look forward to what’s ahead!🚀
