The 10K Global Venture Plan Competition, hosted by UMass Lowell’s Global Entrepreneurship Entrepreneurship Exchange (GE2) Program, is a global competition that will award three winning teams the resources to showcase and and advance their business venture.
The objective: to take each team’s idea and launch a new venture – Idea to Reality!
The 10K Global Venture Plan Competition was launched in fall 2020 by the GE2 Program. Teams from our July GE2 Idea Pitch Contest were invited to enter into this competition, to take their new venture ideas to the next level.
The competing teams developed their business idea, collaborated with fellow GE2 participants, sharpened their pitch skills, and received mentoring.
On Dec. 17, all teams will pitch their idea and venture plan live, to a panel of judges. At the conclusion of the presentations, judges announced the top three winning teams. These teams will receive in-kind support for their venture.
A public awards virtual ceremony was held on Dec. 17 to announce first, second, and third place winning teams.
