4th Annual Draper Fisher Jurvetson Venture Challenge

Wednesday, May 28, 2008

The Draper Fisher Jurvetson Venture Challenge is a West Coast business plan competition available to the colleges and universities across the West Coast that currently have a business plan competition.

Teams will compete on May 28, 2008 at Quadrus Conference Center in Menlo Park, CA for $250,000+ in seed stage funding that will be disbursed to the team upon the company’s incorporation.

DFJ will accept the applications from competitors that place in the top three finalist positions from each competition. The winner of each existing business plan is guaranteed a position to compete for funding, and the number two and number three finalists are eligible for selection as wild cards.
