What is the Hult Prize?

The Hult Prize is a global student entrepreneurship competition. Teams of students design for-profit ventures that address social and environmental challenges aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, then pitch their ideas and compete through a series of stages toward national and global competition. It turns classroom ideas into real ventures — judged by real entrepreneurs, academics, and industry professionals.

  1. Founded

    Built from the ground up by a student founder, Hult Prize @ UC Davis became UC Davis's first official Hult Prize chapter.

  2. Organized

    Recruited an executive board, earned faculty support, and secured official university organizational recognition.

  3. Partnered

    Established a long-term collaboration with ENG 108, exposing far more students to entrepreneurship and expanding participation.

  4. Built to last

    The chapter kept growing even after its founder transferred away — proof it was built to be sustainable, not dependent on one person.
