The SoCo Entrepreneurship Competition is southern Colorado's largest competition for entrepreneurship opportunity in the region. Individuals or teams compete to pitch their business plan to be incorporated within the community. The entire competition is split into two divisions. There is the Student Business Plan Competition and the Adult Venture Capitalist Competition. The Student Division is evaluated by a panel of judges who select finalists to take home a scholarship to CSU-Pueblo and cash prizes. The Adult Division is judged by real venture capitalists who may decide to invest in your business or business idea by providing venture 'capital' seed money or loans.
Each adult business plan submitted must list only one (1) author, to whom any and all prizes will be awarded. Up to three people may present on stage during the finale, including the author. Also note: please read over official "Rules of Submission" to determine all requirements are met during registration.
For the Adult Competition, there is a small fee that accompanies registration. This fee is $10 for entry into the competition and to process your application.
