Five years after taking the Pure Pitch Rally stage, Tenfold Security Consulting is receiving national recognition from one of the country’s largest startup funding-readiness programs.

The Pure Pitch Rally alum was named a finalist in Pepperdine Graziadio Business School’s 2026 Most Fundable Companies program, emerging from a field of more than 2,100 early-stage startups representing all 50 states.

Pepperdine’s annual program evaluates companies through a multi-round process designed around investor due diligence, examining factors such as financial projections, market opportunity, intellectual property, competitive positioning, and management-team expertise. Approximately 30 companies advance to the final round before the Most Fundable Companies list is selected.

For Tenfold, the recognition adds another milestone to a journey that started with early support and connections right here in Kansas City. Founders who take those early introductions, resources and encouragement and keep building long after they leave our stage is exactly the kind of progress we love seeing from our alumni.

Congratulations to the Tenfold team on earning national recognition and continuing to make Kansas City’s entrepreneurial community proud.
