ENTERPRIZE !
A Business Plan Competition
EnterPrize is a business plan competition created through the
partnership of Pittsburgh universities and development organizations.
The competition's goal is to invigorate Pittsburgh's economy by
bringing together great ideas, capital, and business expertise
to create growth companies. Similar business plan competitions
have produced numerous start-up companies around the world.
Traditionally, 10 to 15 companies are funded every year by
venture capitalists involved with the competition.
EnterPrize combines formal workshops, coaching, and feedback to help
aspiring entrepreneurs turn great ideas into great business models.
While the competition awards $145,000 in cash prizes, the
educational aspects of the program will provide valuable benefits
to all entrants.
The competition is open to students and faculty at all levels,
especially in non-business technical fields, who might have an
interest in starting their own ventures. Eligibility is not
restricted to students, but the organizers' experience has been
that student teams often generate the most competitive applications.
A set of seminars on focused topics and other public events will
be held at Carnegie Mellon and at other locations in the city
over the next several months. To find out more visit
