We surrounded our 2025 winners and graduates with the support of the Houston entrepreneurial eco-system! 

They were cheered on by competition leaders, sponsors, funders, advisors, judges, trainers, family, friends, community partners and alumni from past competitions to welcome them into our alumni network for support and connections as they move forward. It was a day of celebration for what they have achieved and for what lies ahead!
