Venture Adventure gives undergraduate
students the opportunity to present their ideas and plans for
realistic new ventures to a panel of judges made up of entrepreneurs
and investors. Teams receive valuable feedback from the judging
panel that offers them insights into "real world" entrepreneurial
challenges and allows them to focus on sharpening their business
planning and presentation skills. Further, students hear about the
work of others nationwide and discover different ways of planning
and presenting their ideas. Last year's participants report that the
judges' feedback was "priceless" and as good as professional
consulting. |
