The 2nd Annual Auggie Baby Shark entrepreneur contest is now open for submissions! Hosted annually by the School of Business, this competition invites students to explore their entrepreneurial potential, identify new opportunities, and apply their skills and knowledge to launch a business or social enterprise. Selected teams will compete for a share of $10,000 in prize money.
COMPETITION DETAILS:
– Individuals and teams consisting of one (1) to four (4) students
– Open to Augsburg undergraduate and graduate students with a valid student ID
– Eligible participants must be registered for the current semester
– Not limited to business majors; all academic schools/disciplines will be considered
– Business Ventures for students focused on more traditional commercial opportunities. These can be business-to-consumer, business-to-business, technology-based ventures, and are typically for-profit models.
– Social Ventures for students whose ventures are primarily focused on solving significant social problems – such as poverty alleviation, social injustice, and environmental sustainability – using entrepreneurial methods to craft innovative solutions that are effective and scalable. These can be non-profit, for-profit, or a mixture of both (hybrid models).
