NOTE Regarding Applying for the HCC Business Plan Competition

 

Proposed and startup entrepreneurs can use your completion of this Feb-March 2026 Series as a prerequisite to apply for the 2027 HCC Business Plan Competition.

There is a Jan-Feb Series currently underway that some are completing to apply for the 2026 HCC Business Plan Competition, because it will be completed prior to the Feb 19 date that we announce teams chosen for the 2026 competition; but the Jan - Feb SBSS currently underway it is at maximum capacity and registration is closed.

We encourage all proposed and startup entrepreneurs who are not positioned to apply for the competition in 2026, to sign up for and complete the HCC SBSS this spring, since the HCC SBSS itself can help you draft your plan and advance your progress this year, such that you are in a position to submit a strong application for the 2027 HCC Business Plan Competition!
