Welcome to The University of Texas at Tyler 2007 New Venture Business Plan Competition, where participants will compete for $235,000 in cash prizes.
The $200,000 Grand Prize is designed to foster a drive for excellence in the competition. Students involved in the competition will gain access to networks of successful entrepreneurs, lenders and investors, and have the opportunity to learn greater team-building and business planning skills. The contest will also help student teams gain media exposure for their entrepreneurial goals.
The $200,000 Grand Prize is larger than that of most college business plan contests. To receive the $100,000 Cash Prize, student teams must be committed to launching their venture. In order to receive the $100,000 Relocation Prize, the winning team must relocate the proposed venture to Tyler, Texas. The judges in all rounds will be acting as venture capitalists and will analyze the ventures to determine those which represent the best investment opportunity.
Thank you to our sponsors, Mr. Robert Peltier and the Tyler Economic Development Council.

In addition, a $1,000 grant will be awarded to the best student teams (not local) in order to cover travel expenses. |
