Beemok Capital, the family office founded by businessman Ben Navarro, has introduced Beemok Catalyst, a new pitch competition designed to support early-stage startups in South Carolina’s Lowcountry. The program offers up to $1 million in potential funding, with applications open from July 29 through September 30. Eligible applicants include businesses based in Berkeley, Charleston, and Dorchester counties, along with a special category for current students. Finalists will be selected to present their ventures before a judging panel at a live event scheduled for November 8 at the Terminal Building at Union Pier in Charleston, a waterfront property recently purchased by Navarro for planned community-focused development.
The competition aims to provide more than just capital. Beemok Capital has stated that participants will also gain exposure to potential investors, access to mentorship, and opportunities for long-term business growth. The public nature of the November event is intended to create a networking environment that brings together entrepreneurs, investors, and community stakeholders. According to Navarro, the goal is to keep promising talent and innovative business ideas within the region, helping to build what he describes as “the next era of builders and founders” in the Lowcountry.
