What is the CapSource Case Competition?
For the past 8 years, CapSource has served as a trusted partner for experiential learning. We’ve been working together to provide our network of institutions with a way to challenge their students through a Live Case Competition. This approach allows our shared network of schools to test out our high-impact experiential learning technology while enabling schools and their educators to develop their students professionally.

Previous Case Competitions
The Fall 2025 Tallo Live Case Competition, powered by CapSource, showcased what’s possible when students, educators, and industry come together around a real-world challenge. CapSource and Tallo share a mission to equip students for career success, so partnering on this competition was a natural fit. CapSource specializes in connecting students with real industry projects and challenges, while Tallo’s platform is built to guide young people “from curiosity to confident action” in their career journeys. This shared vision set the stage for a fun, high-energy competition that not only produced amazing student work, but also furthered our joint goal of supporting career exploration and workforce development for the next generation.
