The UCCS College of Business Center for Entrepreneurship is managing the contest for students at any two- or four-year college, university or technical school in the nation. The students will submit plans for a business, with local judges deciding the winners and awarding more than $35,000 in prizes.
“This business plan competition focused on sports and outdoors is part of a larger effort to build on the natural strengths of the Pikes Peak region,” Tom Duening, director, Center for Entrepreneurship and El Pomar Chair of Business and Entrepreneurship, said. “Our support from the United States Olympic Committee and El Pomar Institute for Innovation & Commercialization are strong indicators of how significant this competition will be.”
The competition calls for teams to submit business plans to a website running an internationally utilized software platform for investors and business plan competitions, AngelSoft. Following a preliminary screening, ten teams will visit Colorado Springs next Oct. 20-22 with winners selected by a panel of local judges.
