In Stage 1, teams submit their written business plans and receive feedback from mentors over two rounds of competition (Feb. 17 – April 14). In Stage 2, teams pitch their ventures live to judges over two rounds of competition for the chance to win up to $5,000 in prize money (April 28).

Registration closes Feb. 13.
