Monetary prizes, experience in creating and defending a business plan, and networking with judges and entrepreneurship peers.

All participants must be currently enrolled full-time students (undergraduate, Master’s or PhD); teams may have up to six members; teams must own a significant share of the venture; other rules apply.
