12th Annual UC Berkeley Business Plan Competition

From cleantech to consumer products, entrepreneurship takes many forms.  The annual UC Berkeley Plan Competition is an exciting opportunity to showcase your business venture to prominent Silicon Valley venture capital firms while competing for thousands of dollars in cash prizes.  Do you have the winning business plan?  We invite individuals from all disciplines - engineering, business, social and political sciences, to participate in the UC Berkeley Business Plan Competition, one of UC Berkeley’s marquee events celebrating entrepreneurship. We encourage UC Berkeley and UC San Francisco alumni, undergraduate students, staff as well as researchers from Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory, to compete.
