SVBIG Mentorship Cohort, 5/24

Ror Purdue Startups/Founders/Tech Builders/Teams Looking to Scale

SVBIG (Silicon Valley Boilermaker Innovation Group) is an organization of Silicon Valley Purdue alumni who offer mentoring to selected Purdue-connected tech startups. SVBIG will soon select its next Cohort of companies for mentoring, on this timeline:

  • Early applications are welcome now, and we encourage you to consider applying as early as possible.
  • Final deadline for Applications: Sunday, May 24, 2026
  • "Pitch for Mentors" Day will be held on Wednesday, July 15. (Details to be announced, and there will be a virtual option.)

Some startups are at an early stage and do not yet have clear answers to all the prompts in the application. Not to worry—just fill in the information as best you can, as it's a valuable exercise. By the end of May, SVBIG will select a few applicants to be invited to the "Pitch for Mentors" event on July 15. Note that the competition to be accepted can be strong, as we had nearly 50 applicants in our last round, and we can only accept about 6 companies.
