3 OVERVIEW ACU Startup Madness is a new entrepreneurship competition organized for students attending universities and colleges across the nation with 5,000 or fewer students. The competition is organized by ACU CEO, which is the primary student organization focused on entrepreneurship at Abilene Christian University in Abilene, TX. The goal of the competition is to give student entrepreneurs at targeted schools a chance to highlight their ventures. The competition format mirrors that of the NCAA s annual basketball tournament. Teams from all of the invited schools will compete against each other for the right to advance to later rounds. At the end of the competition, the final four teams will compete for $50,000 in seed funding. The competition is completely virtual and will not require any travel. The early rounds of the competition will be judged based on written materials and video presentations submitted by teams. The last two rounds will include a live presentation and Q&A with the judging panel through the competition s online portals. PRIZES The winning team of this year s competition will receive $30,000 in seed funding for their venture. The remaining prize money will be divided equally among the other finalists. TEAM SELECTION Each university or college that is invited to participate may nominate one team for the competition. A faculty member or other school representative must complete a brief registration form no later than April 1, indicating the school's intent to enter a team in the competition. If your school has an existing entrepreneurship competition (e.g., elevator pitch, business model, business plan), then we recommend the winning team be selected to advance. However, faculty or school administrators are free to select their representative team based on any criteria they deem appropriate. 1
4 COMPETITION STRUCTURE The competition will consist of four to five rounds depending upon the number of schools represented. In each round, a group of four teams will compete against each other and one or two teams will be selected to move forward to the next round. The early rounds of the competition will be judged based on written materials and video presentations submitted by teams.
