The GW New Venture Competition is in its ninth year and was created to give GW students, faculty, staff and alumni a real-world, experiential learning opportunity in entrepreneurship. It is also designed to foster an entrepreneurial climate at GW and allow competition winners to actually launch and operate their ventures while maintaining complete control of their ventures through the issuance of non-dilutive cash grants as prize money.
This year, the New Venture Competition will be conducted in four rounds, culminating in the finals in Jack Morton Auditorium on the evening of April 20, 2017. Competitors will compete in three tracks: New Ventures, Technology Ventures and Social Ventures.
The New Venture Competition is hosted by the Office of Innovation and Entrepreneurship within the Office of the Vice President for Research.
