New for 2026: we are announcing the Startup Oasis World Cup! Each Startup Oasis event will now have a winner that the audience will vote on. The winners will be eligible to compete in the championship round at the end of the year. We will have different divisions: Atlanta, San Francisco, Virtual, and Global. 

• The Atlanta and San Francisco championship rounds will be in person and are for the winners of the events in those two cities. 

• The Virtual Division will be hosted on Zoom, and it is for the winners of the events on Zoom. 

• The Global Division will also be hosted on Zoom and is for the winners of the World Tour stops. 

 

The championship round winners will consist of the Champion, Runner-Up, and the People’s Choice. We will have judges choose the winners here, with influence from audience voting. The audience vote will also lock in the People’s Choice. There will be grand prizes for all winners.

 

A final thing we are planning is the Startup Oasis Champion’s League: All champions and runners-up from each division will pitch in the virtual format to become the Startup Oasis World Cup Grand Champion!
