Funding Opportunity: Tulane Business Model Competition
Tulane Business Model Competition
OBJECTIVES:
Hosted by the Albert Lepage Center for Entrepreneurship and Innovation at Tulane’s A. B. Freeman School of Business, this student startup competition is open to teams that include at least one degree-seeking undergraduate or graduate student from any college or university. The Tulane Business Model Competition seeks early-stage ventures that can demonstrate how they are adapting to their customers’ needs. The contest rewards those that are creating commercially viable ventures through breaking down an idea into a key business model hypothesis, have tested their assumptions with customers and have applied Customer Development/Lean Startup principles to refine the model for improved success. This virtual competition will take place the week of March 23rd, 2021.
Following the initial application, judges will select six ventures to compete in the competition’s semi-final round. Judges will then choose three finalists to pitch their ventures in the Final Round to determine this year’s first, second and third place prize winners. Selected Semi-Finalists will also be paired with mentors and investors to provide valuable feedback and network connections.
