UNL Venture Plan Championship

Sponsored by Alice Dittman and Cornhusker Bank

The Nebraska Center for Entrepreneurship proudly announces its 11th Annual UNL Venture Plan Championship sponsored by Alice Dittman and Cornhusker Bank. Inaugurated in 1999, this program is designed to identify, support, and promote students who write business plans that serve as the basis for attracting people and money to their proposed new ventures. The competition is contested in separate graduate and undergraduate levels and affords students from across the University of Nebraska–Lincoln campus an opportunity to "pitch" their plans to potential investors and win up to $1,000. Members of the business community will judge the business plans.
