PROVIDENCE – The deadline for the R.I. Business Plan Competition is quickly approaching.
“If you’ve got the determination and drive to create a growth company, here’s your chance to win cash and services – and turn your dream into a reality,” an announcement on the business plan competition’s website reads.
Winners and finalists in the 2015 business plan competition will share in prizes of $200,000.
Prizes, which include cash and in-kind services, are provided by 56 sponsors, including 11 banks and investors, seven colleges and universities, and other businesses, including ShapeUp Inc., a former competition winner.
Judges explore the viability of proposed plans and also consider if they allow for contingencies and if they can withstand competitive pressure from other businesses, among other factors.
Online applications are due by 5 p.m. on March 30, and semi-finalists will be notified on April 7. Full plans will be due by semi-finalists on April 14 and on April 22, semi-finalists will meet with judges and finalists will be selected. Finalists then meet with judges on April 29 and winners will be announced on May 12.
