Build the future of entrepreneurship. Your contribution makes a difference.

By donating to the New York Business Plan Competition (NYBPC), you're not just giving back—you're propelling forward. Each year, the NYBPC empowers hundreds of students from over 60 institutions, more than half of whom are under-represented founders. Since 2010, the NYBPC has helped to launch more than 250 student-led ventures and generated more than $150 million in economic impact.

What’s the impact of your contribution?

  • Our competitive platform is designed to challenge and enhance every participant's entrepreneurial skills with experiential learning opportunities. Engaging in real-world business scenarios gives participants invaluable insights and practical knowledge that prepare them for success.

  • We bridge the gap between emerging entrepreneurs and established business professionals. Our network includes a wide array of experts across industries, providing a unique opportunity for participants to build meaningful connections that can lead to mentorship, advice, and even investment.

  • Financial support is crucial in the early stages of any venture. We provide non-dilutive seed funding to promising entrepreneurs, enabling them to turn their innovative ideas into reality without giving up equity. This initial funding boost is often a critical factor in the successful launch and early growth of new businesses.
