Amy Sallin is the UW Business Plan Competition (BPC) Program
Manager. She presented information about the BPC. The BPC is held each
year at the Seattle UW campus. It is now in it's 18th year. The
purpose of the BPC is to foster student start-up projects, identify
projects with real potential and provide students the opportunity to
present these ideas to participants from the business community and
potential investors. At least one member of the team must be a student
in a Washington State college.
The benefits of the
BPC, in addition to the possibility of winning real money, are gaining
visibility within the business community, building a network of
contacts, getting feedback from other entrepreneurs, and receive skilled
coaching and mentoring. There are several rounds in the BPC, including
screening, coaching, investment, sweet 16 and final round. About a
third of the entries move on to the second round.
