The AmericaFirst Business Challenge™ Launches Competition Awarding $1 Million in $TRUMPCoin Grants
The America First Business Challenge™officially unveiled a national entrepreneurship initiative designed to support American entrepreneurs building America First businesses.
Funded by the $TRUMP Coin platform, the 90-day competition will award up to $1 million in grants to entrepreneurs building innovative, scalable American businesses.
The program debuted on April 25 at the Crypto & Business Conference at Mar-a-Lago, featuring President Donald J.Trump. The America First Business Challenge™ has already been approached to develop a streaming TV business competition series inspired by the challenge.
Unlike traditional startup competitions, the America First Business Challenge™ provides non-dilutive funding awarded exclusively on merit. Entrepreneurs are not required to exchange equity, secure institutional backing, or come from legacy venture networks to compete.
Over the course of the competition, the program will award:
● One $250,000 Grand Prize
● Six $100,000 Grants
● Three $50,000 Grants
Winners will be selected based on innovation, scalability, long-term viability, and their ability to build enduring American companies.
The challenge culminates in a nationally promoted live finale in July 2026. Selected founders pitch their companies before the high-profile judging panel in a championship-style event.
“America’s next great companies will be built by founders who believe in American growth, American jobs, and American ambition,” said organizers behind the initiative. “This challenge identifies those entrepreneurs early and helps accelerate them onto the national stage.”
The judging panel is a powerhouse mix of entrepreneurs, investors, athletes, and entertainers. Program organizers include Kendrick Nguyen, Founder and Co-CEO of Republic, one of the leading investment crowdfunding platforms in the United States, alongside serial entrepreneur Aristotle Loumis. Additional judges, celebrity participants, and strategic partners to be announced.
Beyond grant funding, finalists will receive national exposure through PR campaigns, podcasts, digital content, and social media distribution across Instagram, X, TikTok, LinkedIn, streaming platforms, and business media.
Applications are open, with the competition running through Summer 2026.
