Regis University Innovation Challenge
The Regis Innovation Challenge exists to create dynamic and experiential opportunities for startups and small businesses open to all.
Colorado has become one of the country's fastest-growing startup hubs because innovation doesn't happen in isolation. It happens when founders, students, mentors, investors, universities, and communities come together to solve real problems.
At the Regis Innovation Challenge, we are proud to be part of that ecosystem by connecting aspiring entrepreneurs with experienced mentors, student talent, industry leaders, and the resources needed to turn ideas into lasting impact. Whether you're launching your first venture or scaling an existing business, Colorado offers an incredible community to help you grow.

Every great startup begins with an idea, but the strongest ventures are built where three critical elements come together.
Desirability asks whether people genuinely want what you're building. Feasibility challenges whether your team can actually create it. Viability ensures the solution can grow into a sustainable business.
The best founders don't optimize for just one. They find the intersection of all three and keep climbing.
Whether you're a student, first-time founder, researcher, or experienced entrepreneur, innovation starts by asking the right questions before building the right solution.

Great companies don't start with perfect ideas. They start with founders who choose to act.
We believe entrepreneurship is about more than launching a startup. It's about leading with purpose, solving meaningful problems, and creating value for others.
Rooted in the Jesuit tradition of Cura Personalis—care for the whole person—we invest in founders as people first. We challenge them to think bigger, build responsibly, and use innovation to make a lasting impact on their communities.
If you're ready to become the founder your idea deserves, we're ready to help you get there.

Innovation doesn't take the summer off. Neither do the people building what's next.
While campus may be quieter, innovation never stops. Behind every successful founder is a community of mentors, industry leaders, alumni, and changemakers who are willing to share their experience, ask the right questions, and help turn ideas into real ventures.
The 2026–2027 Regis Innovation Challenge is preparing for another year of helping entrepreneurs build impactful companies and we're looking for mentors who want to make a difference.
Whether you've founded a company, led teams, invested in startups, or built expertise in your field, your perspective could be exactly what the next generation of founders needs.
If you're interested in mentoring ambitious entrepreneurs, we'd love to connect.
