What is UMBC’s Business Plan Competition?
An opportunity for UMBC graduate and undergraduate students to experience the process of planning a business. Student participants will write a competitive and realistic 2-3 page business plan, and present their ideas in a concise and clear format.

Who should participate?
Students from all majors with a dream of launching their own business.

There’s still lots more $$$
Teams or individuals that have a business idea that incorporates the use of technology will be eligible to compete in the Mosh Pit Business Plan Competition sponsored by the Greater Baltimore Technology Council. (See back of this flyer for more information.)

Why participate?
It’s fun and it provides the ‘real-world’ experience that looks great on a resume. And besides the practical knowledge the experience brings, students can make connections with some of Maryland’s entrepreneurs and businesspeople.

What to do now?
Complete a 2-3 page summary of your business idea. Explain how current market conditions are creating an opportunity for your product/service. Identify your competition, marketing, sales and growth strategy.

Deadline for registering ideas is Friday, February 15 by 5 p.m.
E-mail to Susy Pincheira at pincheir@umbc.edu.
