Catalyst by Beemok will return in 2026, continuing its mission to support and invest in early-stage companies.
In its inaugural year, Catalyst by Beemok awarded more than $2,625,000 to local startups, backing founders across a range of industries and highlighting the strength of the Lowcountry’s growing innovation ecosystem.
As momentum builds, the 2026 program will open applications on May 15, with a general deadline of August 1 and a student deadline of August 31. Finalists will take the stage at the live pitch competition on Saturday, November 14.
Catalyst by Beemok is designed to create meaningful opportunities for founders, offering not only access to capital, but also a platform to share their stories, connect with investors and engage with the broader community.
Founders are encouraged to begin preparing now as Catalyst by Beemok returns for its second year.
