Have a business idea? Take part in the annual Cross Tank Competition and bring your dreams to fruition.
The annual Cross Tank Competition is an opportunity for students to receive funding to take their ideas and turn them into ventures, as well as scale existing ventures. Individuals will pitch their ideas or ventures to a panel of judges in front of an audience of their peers.
Annual Cross Tank Competition
The competition is designed to give students real-world experience to pitch their ideas for one of two categories: developing ideas or scaling an existing venture. Judges evaluate based on the market opportunity and concept validation of the business idea, as well as the scalability of the more developed business models. The best pitches will walk away with cash prizes and potential mentoring opportunities.
