Every May, teams from campuses throughout the California State University system come together for the annual Sunstone CSU Startup Launch Competition.

Sponsored by Sunstone Management, each campus takes a turn hosting a high-stakes event that gives students the opportunity to compete for thousands of dollars in prizes across several different categories.

In 2023, San José State University was proud to host the very first iteration of the CSU Startup Launch Competition. Read more about the 2023 and 2024 winners.
