Pepperdine Graziadio Announces Fifth Annual Most Fundable Companies Presented by the Singleton Foundation for Financial Literacy & Entrepreneurship


The Pepperdine Graziadio Business School announced the launch of the 2022 Most Fundable Companies List, an annual program hosted by the Pepperdine Graziadio Business School aimed to promote startup business development by providing pathways for startup funding and inspiring entrepreneurial spirit across the nation. More than 3,300 companies across all 50 states applied for the 2021 program, supported by the Singleton Foundation for Financial Literacy and Entrepreneurship as title sponsor.

“Pepperdine Graziadio Business School invites all US-based startups, with less than $10 million dollars in annual revenue, to compete for a space on our 2022 Most Fundable Companies List,” said Dr. Craig R. Everett, PhD Executive Director, Most Fundable Companies & Assistant Professor of Finance, Pepperdine Graziadio Business School. “Our winners have successfully raised over 125 million dollars since we launched in 2018. We’re also very different – we’re not a pitch competition. Our proprietary methodology focuses downstream, on the diligence process of angel and VC investors. Whether they make the list or not, every company that goes through our Most Fundable Companies process receives free feedback. Our goal is to help all startups who participate to be better prepared to receive funding.”

The Most Fundable Companies program was launched by the Pepperdine Graziadio Business School in 2018 as a free resource to help entrepreneurs assess their readiness for private investment. All startups that complete the program’s pre-screen and qualifier surveys receive a customized report with feedback on how to structure and position their business to improve investment opportunities. The Pepperdine Graziadio Business School’s Most Fundable Companies Showcase will take place on October 13, 2022, at Pepperdine University, Villa Graziadio Executive Conference Center (24255 Pacific Coast Hwy, Malibu, 90263).
