Startup World Cup 2024 Awards $1 Million Grand Prize to EarthGrid

On October 4, 2024, ten startup company finalists, chosen from thousands of startups around the world, pitched in front of a panel of Silicon Valley venture capital investor judges for a $1 Million prize. After careful deliberation, the judges awarded the prize to EarthGrid PBC, a public benefit corporation based in San Francisco that has developed a patented plasma tunnel-boring technology to enable the U.S. and other countries to fix their electricity transmission grids. The competition was judged by a panel of investors, including partners from NEA, Samsung Ventures, Salesforce Ventures, and many others. “”The competition this year was extremely intense and filled with so much adrenaline. Startups were fighting hard to get the Top 10 slot. We can hear and see their energy and enthusiasm with entrepreneurs from all over the world presenting groundbreaking innovations. We are so proud of the champion, and we congratulate the EarthGrid PBC team for their hard work at the Startup World Cup 2024 Grand Finale,”” said Anis Uzzaman, Founder and CEO of Pegasus Tech Ventures and Chairman of Startup World Cup.< a href="https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/startup-world-cup-2024-awards-1-million-grand-prize-to-earthgrid-302269882.html" target="_blank">Read more >>
