The New Venture Championship provides a way for the Lundquist College of Business to collaborate with the School of Journalism and Communication—thanks to a gift from Tim Boyle, president and CEO of Columbia Sportswear.
Two teams shared the top spot this April in the Lundquist College's world-renowned investment competition, the New Venture Championship.
Innovate or get left behind. The phrase may seem bold, but in the business world it’s never been more accurate.
Sixteen teams of entrepreneurially minded graduate students came to Portland, Oregon, to test their mettle in the University of Oregon's New Venture Championship.
Cash prizes, plus the opportunity to get real-world feedback from area business leaders—these were the awards teams of entrepreneurship students competed for in the annual graduate Venture Quest this past December. Each team's presentation was followed by a rapid-fire Q&A with contest judges. The winning project? VisiRay, a unique pest-detection technology presented by Walther Buecklers, Andrew Cook, Matt Eskue, and Orit Ofr. Runner-up was ShadyPeeps, a student-launched company that has already sold 3,500 pairs of university-themed sunglasses.
"This reflects our long history of delivering the very best learning experience for our participants," noted Lundquist Center for Entrepreneurship Director Terry Sebastian after Forbes named the center's New Venture Championship one of fifteen "Big Small-Business Contests." This year's competition begins April 8 in Portland. Read the Forbes Article. See the NVC Website.
