DRIVE your innovation: start a company and receive personal coaching and expert feedback.

LAUNCH your venture towards success with the prestige and credibility that comes from winning a major competition.

WIN thousands in cash prizes to invest in your company. Winners are also eligible for a free year in the TERP Startub Lab (www.startuplab.umd.edu).

The tenth annual University of Maryland $75K Business Plan Competition promotes the commercialization of innovative ideas and university-created technologies by offering faculty and students prizes for the best new venture plans. Previous winners include five multi-million ventures; two of those were named as some of the 500 fastest growing private companies in America by Inc. Magazine in 2009.

The competition emphasizes learning through coaching and the experience of presenting ideas to an expert panel of judges.

The Feb. 5 Executive Summary Workshop has been postponed as the university is closed. We will notify everyone who registered when it is rescheduled.
