Re: SMU Business Plan Competition

The SMU Business Plan Competition provides students with the opportunity to work with fellow SMU students to create a viable business venture.

Phases for the Competition


The competition has four phases. In the fall, the Strategy & Entrepreneurship Club hosts mixers, where students from the Cox School of Business, Lyle School of Engineering, Dedman School of Law, and others from

SMU have the opportunity to interact in order to form teams for the competition. Throughout the process teams receive guidance and consultation from local entrepreneurs and investors to fine-tune their plans.

In December, the Executive Summaries are evaluated and finalists determined. Selected teams receive further guidance and coaching as they finalize their business plans.

All teams that submit an executive summary are eligible to compete in the elevator pitch competition for a cash prize.

All events take place on the SMU campus, including the final presentations, where teams pitch their ideas in front of a panel of judges composed of venture capitalists, early-stage investors, and entrepreneurs.
