Categories: Business Plan Competitions, Entrepreneurs.

    The Silicon Valley Business Plan Competition is sponsored by San Jose State University’s College of Business. The $10,000 first prize is given by Wanda Ginner, an SJSU alumna, and a special $5,000 prize is donated by Annex Ventures, with an additional prize for the best-written business plan.

    The competition is meant to be a link between the university and the “real” entrepreneurial world of the famed Silicon Valley. At least one member of every participating team must be a current student, graduate, faculty member, or staff member of San Jose State University. No teams that have previously won money from the Silicon Valley Business Plan Competition or similar contests are allowed to enter.

    The Opportunity Funding Corporation Venture Challenge is sponsored every year by Minority Entrepreneurship Education, Inc. The competition has existed since 2001 and its mission is to help Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) to develop a comprehensive entrepreneurship curriculum that would be particularly relevant in preparing young African-American men and women to become entrepreneurs.

    The Venture Challenge has two aspects – the local competition at each individual college, followed by the national competition held yearly in Atlanta. The internal contest is supervised by a faculty advisor at each university and determines which team will go on to the main competition. The local contest is run during the fall and winter of every year, starting in September and concluding in February.
