The IBK Capital - Ivey Business Plan Competition is Canada’s premiere student business plan competition. With entrepreneurial teams drawn from the top graduate schools across the country, the competition offers students an opportunity to present innovative business plans to potential investors, while providing investors an advance look at up-and-coming Canadian entrepreneurs. The event is organized by student volunteers and funded by private sponsorship. This year, the winning team will vie for $25,000 in cash prizes.
Ten finalist teams will be invited to Ivey for final round presentations to a panel of judges made up of venture capitalists, successful entrepreneurs, consultants and academics. The Grand Prize winners will also be the sole Canadian representatives in the world-famous Global MOOT Corp Business Plan Competition held at the University of Texas (Austin). In Texas, teams will vie for the grand prize of USD $100,000 in equity investment to fund operations of their business plan.
