Providing Early Risk Capital to
High-Growth Startups
Creators, Innovators, Disruptors, Change-Agents.
Entrepreneurs (and the various ways we describe them) inspire us to understand the world as it is today and see it for the world it could be. They’re building companies that are essential to our economy – creating jobs, bringing talent, and attracting investment.
The Render Competition focuses on supporting innovative and scalable startups. Each year, startups will apply and compete for one of eight investments of $100,000 each. Businesses should be at a stage where this capital will significantly impact their ability to grow and scale. Winners will be required to locate within the Greater Louisville region and our team will provide support through our network of partners.
We are proud of our community of judges and extremely thankful for their support of innovation in Greater Louisville. Our judges range from corporate executives, startup advisors, experienced investors, and established entrepreneurs who are all experts in their fields. Email us to become a judge.

We could not do this without the amazing support of sponsors – sponsors that understand that it is truly a collective effort from corporations to foundations to the public sector that makes these things possible.
