It’s time once again to sign up for the 2011 Regnier Family Foundations Venture Creation Challenge. Last year more than 40 UMKC student venture teams from across the disciplines and 70-plus investors, entrepreneurs and business leaders participated in the Venture Creation Challenge–and five winning teams took home launch packages valued at $15,000.

The Challenge encourages student venture creation through a forum in which students can present new venture plans to investors, entrepreneurs and business leaders.

-Win cash prizes to turn your idea into a new business
-Open to UMKC students of all disciplines – hundreds of UMKC students will participate
-Access to new venture incubator support is available

This year’s event will take place on Friday, April 29 in the new UMKC Student Union.
