Invest in the next generation

Kingdom Investing

Supporting the Biola Startup Competition is a meaningful way to champion emerging founders who are building ventures rooted in purpose and biblical values. The competition offers a powerful opportunity to invest in the next generation of kingdom-minded innovators — students who are boldly pursuing ideas that reflect ingenuity, faith and transformative impact.
