Support eWEAR Health Prize

Become a Supporter

The Stanford Wearable Electronics Initiative (eWEAR-X) would appreciate your corporate support. The eWEAR Health Prize @ Stanford U and Demo Showcase 2026 gives five early-career founders of start-ups a chance to win the $25,000 cash prize. All corporate tier ticket purchasers have their name or logo acknowledged on invitations, a media post, eWEAR-X website, and slide shown at the event. Your company would receive 2 free admissions with reserved seating, and the contact email addresses of pitch competition applicants, who opt in to sharing; we receive more than 50 applications each year from start-ups. In addition to helping with costs of the event, corporate tier ticket proceeds are given as travel grants to founders selected to pitch, making it possible for them to travel to the event from other states in the U.S. Corporate tier tickets can be purchased via credit card or U.S. wire transfer at the links below.
