How it works

From program design to decision — in five steps

Challenge Studio handles every stage of the innovation challenge lifecycle, so you can focus on finding the right companies.

Challenge Creation

Build a fully branded program page with custom colors, fonts, logo, and tailored application questions — for any type of startup program.

Startup Recruiting

Describe your program and our AI searches 750,000+ startups to surface the most relevant applicants for your specific focus area.

Email Outreach

Select founders to contact, customize your pitch email, and send invitations directly from the platform.

Submission Collection

Applications flow into a structured dashboard. Track every submission, upload, and entry in real time.

Startup Review

Score submissions, compare finalists, and export to SwitchPitch for full pipeline management and CRM.

Platform capabilities

Everything you need to run any startup program

Built on the SwitchPitch platform, so every feature is backed by real innovation infrastructure.

Custom Branding

Apply your logo, brand colors, fonts, and imagery. Every challenge page looks like it was built by your design team.

Form Builder

Drag-and-drop form editor with 10+ field types — short answer, file upload, multi-select, conditional logic, and more.

Instant Publishing

Go from draft to live in one click. Your challenge gets a public URL you can share anywhere — no code, no hosting.

AI Startup Matching

Describe your program and our AI searches 750,000+ startups from the SwitchPitch database to find the best fits — challenges, accelerators, or grants.

Submissions Dashboard

Every application lands in a structured inbox. Filter by stage, sort by date, and track conversion rates in real time.

SwitchPitch Integration

Sync winning startups directly to SwitchPitch for evaluation, scoring, CRM tracking, and full pipeline management.

Only on SwitchPitch

Selected startups get access to real, budgeted corporate needs.

When you run a program on SwitchPitch, the startups you select become part of your ecosystem. That unlocks exclusive access to budgeted corporate needs in the SwitchPitch marketplace — something no pitch competition platform, accelerator software, or grant tool can provide.

Exclusive marketplace access

Selected startups can view real, budgeted corporate needs from enterprise teams actively looking for solutions — demand you won't find on any public platform.

Warm intro paths through your organization

Your program becomes the trusted introduction layer. Startups can request intros to enterprise partners through you — turning your competition into a deal-flow engine.

A real incentive for startups to apply

Marketplace access is the carrot that separates your program from every other competition. Startups apply because winning means something beyond a trophy.

Marketplace access is available to startups in your ecosystem. No other pitch competition, accelerator software, or challenge platform has this.
