Hult Prize x USC 2025-26

The HULT PRIZE is a year-long competition that engages over 15,000 startups from 130+ countries, challenging students to create high-impact for-profit startups that tackle global issues. Your idea must be a social enterprise, that is world-changing and aligned with at least one of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Over five progressive phases, teams hone their ideas, receive mentorship, and compete to win $1M in seed funding.

This year, the Lloyd Greif Center for Entrepreneurial Studies, Greif LaunchPad and Brittingham Social Enterprise Lab are hosting a USC wide competition, and the winner will win $1,000 and automatically move forward into the US Nationals - the first stage on the road to the Global Finals!
