Help needed to encourage students to participate in the NY Business Plan Competition

Hi everyone,

The deadline is Friday, March 1 to submit an application for the 12th annual New York Business Plan Competition (NYBPC). At present, we have only one HVCC team registered for the event that HVCC is hosting on April 5!

We have very talented students with a wide variety of ideas and skills to showcase. I know that we have teams interested in competing and encourage faculty to remind students about the competition and suggest they submit an application.

Students need to submit only an application by March 1. The application is simply contact information and a brief (few sentences) description of their idea; it is used is to determine eligibility. The final pitch decks for the team do not need to be submitted until March 31.

For updates and to apply, students may visit www.hvcc.edu/nybpc. or https://nybpc.org/students2024.
