Innovate 757
July 08, 2026
Somewhere in Virginia, a company is building something that could compete on the world stage.
On Sept. 17, we find out who it is.
Virginia Cup returns to the Sandler Center in Virginia Beach, bringing 10 companies to one stage to compete for the chance to represent Virginia at the Startup World Cup global finals.
This is not a typical pitch competition.
It is Virginia’s chance to put one of its best companies in front of the world.
In 2024, ivWatch represented Virginia and finished third in the world. Last year, Luminoah won the Virginia qualifier and advanced to San Francisco.
Now it is time to see who’s next.
Applications to pitch close July 31.
