Over several rounds of competition running from mid-February to competition day on April 26, teams will submit business plans and develop pitches for their exciting and innovative startup ideas. Teams will receive mentorship from industry professionals while developing their plans, and will pitch to panels of judges over two rounds of competition on April 26 for the opportunity to win up to $5,000 in prize money to further their ventures.
