Monthly Awards
New for 2025 - 42PLUS1 Monthly Awards
In addition to our annual $2,000,000 pitch competition, we are excited to launch 42PLUS1 Monthly Awards for the first time in 2025.
How It Works: Each month, we’ll be running a “mini” 42PLUS1 competition.
All 42PLUS1 applications submitted in a given month will be entered into both our annual pitch award as well as the monthly competition for the month the application was submitted.
At the end of each month, all applications from that month will be evaluated. The top INSERT NUMBER of applications will be selected for a FREE STARTUP TICKET to either DxPx US or DxPx EU.
The monthly winner will also be featured in the following promotional materials:
- Posted to the 42PLUS1 website Previous Winners page
- Posted to the official DxPx/42PLUS1 LinkedIn account
- Featured in an upcoming DxPx marketing email
Submit Your Application! – Even if you have previously applied to 42PLUS1, you can submit an updated application to be eligible for the monthly award. Note: Applications will be accepted soon. Check back here for the updated submission link.
