2012 Business Plan Competition at The Merage School of Business

The 2012 Business Plan Competition at The Merage School of Business is one of the nation's premier business plan competitions offering all UC Irvine students, staff and researchers the opportunity to form a team, create a business plan and potentially fund their business idea all within seven months. The competition will start with our Kick-off event held on Tuesday, November 15, 2011 at the UC Irvine Student Center and will end with the Final Presentations and Awards Ceremony where over $70,000 in cash prizes will be awarded on Friday, April 27, 2012. Between the kick-off and finals, we offer four workshops covering a broad area of business plan development skills led by leading practitioners from Orange County. The Competition also provides individual team coaches to all teams that qualify for the semi-finals.
