Top prize of $25,000 to be awarded to winning team following high-stakes presentations
After months of sweating the details and false starts – and despite the heavy load of classes associated with being a full-time student, 17 teams will present at the University of New Mexico’s first Technology Business Plan Competition on Friday, April 7. The event gets underway at 8:45 a.m. with the Alpha round. The Omega round, where the winners will be determined, is set to begin at 2 p.m.
Their work will be judged by a who’s who of New Mexico venture capitalists, including VSpring’s Paul Ahlstrom, Verge’s Ray Rasosevich and New Mexico Community Capital’s Jarratt Applewhite.
Complete rules for the competition are available online at the Anderson Schools’ web site, www.mgt.unm.edu.
