Event Details
Welcome to the annual Most Fundable Companies® Competition run by Pepperdine University's Graziadio Business School. Founders of U.S.-based startups that make the 2025 Most Fundable Companies List will be invited to our gala Showcase event on September 24 in Malibu, CA and your startup will receive significant national recognition, including publication in Entrepreneur magazine.
You do not need to be affiliated with Pepperdine to participate. Companies must be headquartered, with a majority of business operations, in the United States.
All companies that advance to Round 2 of the competition will receive a free detailed feedback report on how they can make their company more attractive to investors.
Don't worry if you have an early stage startup and some of the questions don't seem relevant. If you haven't launched your product/service yet, don't be overly concerned about the questions that are clearly targeted at growth companies. Just answer the questions correctly, even if they don't seem to fit. For our academic research purposes, all companies need to answer the same questions, regardless of stage.
The following questionnaire will enter your company into the opening round of the competition and only takes about 8 minutes to complete.
Note: You can only submit ONE company into the competition per email account. If you are also associated with another company (separate entity), the 2nd company needs to be submitted under a new email account.
