Sunstone CSU Startup Launch
The second annual Sunstone CSU Startup Launch Competition will take place at San Jose State University. If you are interested in representing CSULB email us at csulb-iie@csulb.edu.
The Sunstone CSU Startup Launch Competition is a groundbreaking partnership designed to level the playing field for aspiring CSU entrepreneurs. In 2021, the Sunstone CSU Startup Launch Competition brought forth six mission aligned Cal State Universities to plan a regional pitch competition with the largest prize pool specifically for CSU founded ventures. The CSU Startup Launch Competition is the only one of its kind, focusing specifically on supporting and recognizing the entrepreneurial spirit of CSU entrepreneurs.
