Event: $50K Top 5 Finalist Business Plan Presentations and Awards Ceremony
What: Free food and drinks (sorry, coffee or soda only). And also: Top 5 Finalists for the UCSD $50K Business Plan Competition will pitch to a round of judges live on stage. There will be a lunch session and the top 3 will be selected while judges are eating their specially selected food which stimulate their judging ability. Award ceremony to the top 3 will follow. There will be a bunch of people who have more knowledge and experience than you can ever imagine about business. You can talk to them.
When: Sat. May 31st. 9AM – 2PM
Where: CalIT2 Auditorium, Atkinson Hall. The map is pretty useless. It’s here because CalIT2 use it as their map link. Just go to the (Sony) Stone Dog Bear in Warren college at 9 AM on 5/31 and you will see a bunch of people in suits and you know you are at the right place.
Cost: Free
RSVP: Here
I’ve been in $50K for almost two years now, and this is going to be one event that I strongly recommend people going. Forget about the workshops that teach you how to write business plan. Forget about the mixers that introduce you to a network of entrepreneurs. This is about the selected few individuals that worked their way through three rounds of judging and present their ideas in a professional manner. Unless you’re thinking about working in a VC firm, how often do you see that?
