# Are you going to Demolicious Champion of Champions 2026…?

Every month this year, a [Demolicious](https://www.pitchatdemolicious.com/) crowd has picked a favorite. And in December, all of those favorites end up on the same stage for the [Demolicious Champion of Champions 2026](https://www.etix.com/ticket/p/31863486/demoliciouschampion-of-champions-portland-mcmenamins-mission-theater). But there’s a twist. According to [Josh Carter](https://www.linkedin.com/in/joshuajcarter/), who runs Demolicious, this is [the last Champion of Champions of the monthly run](https://medium.com/@josh_carter/this-is-the-last-full-year-of-demolicious-6968af8db22f). That’s right. Starting in 2027, Demolicious becomes a yearly event at the Mission Theater. So this is the end of a (recent) era.

Every month at the UpStart Collective, these fearless founders have pitched in front of a packed, supportive crowd—honing their storytelling skills, building buzz, and giving us all a glimpse at the next wave of job-creating, game-changing companies.
> 
> Now it all comes down to this: the Championship Showdown!
> 
> We’re bringing back all the monthly winners for a high-energy, founder-versus-founder battle. You’ll hear the pitches, cheer them on, and—most importantly—you’ll decide who takes home the belt, the bragging rights, and cold, hard (non-dilutive!) prize money.

The event takes place Thursday, December 3, 2026, at 6:30PM at McMenamins Mission Theater. Tickets are $20 + handling fees. So like $27 total.
