THE UH VENTURE COMPETITION PROVIDES HANDS-ON EDUCATION, MENTORSHIP AND RESOURCES TO UNIVERSITY OF HAWAI‘I STUDENTS WHO SEEK TO START A NEW BUSINESS. IT IS OPEN TO STUDENTS FROM ALL 10 UH SYSTEM CAMPUSES.

Launching in 2000, the UH Venture Competition (formerly the UH Business Plan Competition) has grown to become one of the most exciting, feature events of the University of Hawai‘i entrepreneurial ecosystem. The UHVC is an intense, semester-long, experiential program that provides hands-on education, mentorship and resources to University of Hawai’i students and faculty who seek to learn what it takes to be an entrepreneur and start a business venture.

The competition encourages collaboration across disciplines, and engages a wide array of competitors from various fields including Engineering, Computer Science, Medicine, Art, Molecular Biosciences and Bioengineering, Tropical Agriculture and Business. Through the UHVC, aspiring entrepreneurs practice the art of testing the feasibility of a business idea, developing a business plan, and pitching it to investors. A series of bootcamps, networking events, and coaching sessions are held in conjunction with the competition to enhance the competitors’ experience and to help move their ventures forward.

The UHVC is a collaborative project that engages stakeholders in the local business community who believe in entrepreneurial education, as well as University and government officials who assert that innovation and commercialization are vital components of Hawaii’s economic health. More than 50 judges, mentors, and instructors volunteer their time and expertise each year.

All teams must have at least one full-time or part-time student who is currently enrolled in a degree-seeking program in any of the 10 community college and universities within the University of Hawai‘i System. Students may include faculty and members of the community on their team.

  • If a team advances to the semi-final or final round, all members of the competition team must be present for the oral presentation.
  • All entries must be original work of students. Copying of third-party business plans or any other unauthorized use of third-party confidential or proprietary information will not be tolerated.
  • Proposals for buy-outs, real estate syndication, tax shelters, franchises, merger/acquisitions, consulting projects, or licensing arrangements will not be considered.
  • No entry may be submitted on the condition that organizers, judges, coaches, reviewers, audience members, or staff members sign non-disclosure agreements (NDAs).
  • Participation in the Entrepreneurs’ Bootcamps, which are held in conjunction with this competition, is highly recommended. Participants must register separately for the bootcamps.
  • The awards are taxable.
  • The check will be issued either to the teams’ legal business entity or to the student team members. Payments will not be made to non-students.

Competition judges will be drawn from a pool of volunteers with a variety of backgrounds, including venture funding, law, accounting, marketing and general business.

Semi-final teams will be paired with a coach. Coaches are volunteers from the business community who are generously giving up their time and expertise, therefore competitors are expected to be respectful of their time. The coach will help mentor teams to gain traction by:

  • Making introductions so that the team can conduct customer discovery interviews;
  • Focusing the team to develop product/market fit; and
  • Providing feedback on the team’s business plan and pitch.

Participation in the competition does not qualify for academic credit at this time.

The University of Hawaii Systemwide Student Conduct Code applies to all participants of the UH Venture Competition. UH expects students to maintain standards of personal integrity that are in harmony with the educational goals of UH; to respect the rights, privileges, and property of others; and to observe national, state, and local laws and University policies and procedures.

If you feel that significant confidentiality issues will arise in the course of preparing your plan, you should have a thorough understanding worked out with your team members in advance. While every effort will be made to preserve the confidentiality of each submission, it is suggested that highly sensitive material be excluded from the entry if a team is concerned about the confidentiality of such material. Note, however, that teams will be making presentations to a public audience and that the competition may be broadcast via media including radio, television, social media, and the internet. Any data or information discussed in the presentation should be considered information that may enter the public realm. Of course, technical drawings and formulae need not be shown in the presentations, or even included in the submission. All reasonable measures to ensure the protection of intellectual property introduced and associated with the competition will be taken. The University of Hawai‘i and the organizers of the UH Venture Competition cannot take further responsibility to protect the intellectual property or other rights of the competitors. Protection of such rights is ultimately the responsibility of each competitor. Competitors are urged to mark as “CONFIDENTIAL” any portion of their entries which they consider to be confidential.

For questions regarding UH intellectual property, you are encouraged to reach out to the UH Office of Technology Transfer.

  • All team members agree to allow the University of Hawai‘i and the Pacific Asian Center for Entrepreneurship (PACE) to record all public sessions of the competition. Entrants understand that recordings may be copied and distributed for the purpose of marketing the competition in future years.
  • The judges’ decisions are final, and teams may not make appeals or complaints against the judges, organizers, sponsors, the Shidler College of Business, or the University of Hawai‘i.
  • The competition rules may be amended at any time. The then-current rules will be posted to the competition website.
