Announcing the 2022 - 2023 NYBPC

Dear Reader,

Students across New York State are gearing up to pitch their student-led ventures at the 13th Annual New York Business Plan Competition (NYBPC) Finals, New York’s statewide intercollegiate business plan competition. The NYBPC finals will take place on April 27, 2023 in Syracuse, as part of Upstate Capital’s event, Venture NY.

The NYBPC provides opportunities for students enrolled in colleges and universities across the state to gain entrepreneurial experience and compete on their ingenuity, first on campus, then in their region, and for top teams, at the statewide finals.

Over the past 13 years, the impact of the program has had significant impact:

• Over $150M+ invested, including follow-on funding for 100+ startups

• Hundreds of innovative solutions and patented technologies created

• Nearly 50% participation from under-represented students each year

New this year: up to $100k in prize money will be awarded to winning teams.

Here are all the ways to get involved!

• Compete as a student

• Get students from your campus to participate

• Become a mentor or judge

• Make a philanthropic contribution

• Become a corporate sponsor/partner

Connect with us to learn more and get involved today!

Sincerely,
