Graduating Teams and their Advisors:

The goal of the HCC Business Plan Competition is to empower all teams accepted into the competition with the competition training and advising and through the opportunity to build that into the refinement and polishing of written plans that are submitted in May.

Twenty-six teams completed six competition training sessions, participated in one-on-one advising with their advisors, and met deadlines to submit written plans, presentation slides and one-minute videos in May! The greatest prize has already been set in motion by all finalists and graduating teams with: the training, advising, group inspiration, galvanizing team work, lessons learned and milestones achieved. The experience and connections can keep on giving as well.

We will celebrate all twenty-six teams and their advisors on June 6th! Thanks to the generosity of our sponsors, in-kind prizes will also be awarded to all graduating teams!
