East Texas Entrepreneurship Center

Business Model Competition

× Join our weekly information session on Zoom!  Thursdays at 1pm.

HOW DO YOU KNOW THERE IS A MARKET FOR YOUR IDEA? 

Using the Business Model Canvas as a guide, The UT Tyler Business Model Competition is designed to test and validate your big idea, make changes (iterations or pivots) based on evidence found and insights gained, and repeat this process until the crucial aspects of your idea are fully validated. Just because you can design somethings does not mean that it will be commercially viable.

De-risk your idea!
