The New York Business Plan Competition (NYBPC) is an intercollegiate entrepreneurship competition powered by Upstate Capital. The NYBPC has provided a platform for training New York’s next generation of entrepreneurs and launched new ventures, commercializing innovations developed on college campuses across New York. Students have the opportunity to receive feedback from experts in their field and the potential to win investment funds for their startup! The Koffman Southern Tier Incubator, Binghamton University’s Office of Entrepreneurship and Innovation Partnerships and Cornell University are proud to support the NYBPC and host the Southern Tier Regional Competition.
The NYBPC kicks off with regional semifinals, hosted by local partner colleges and universities. The top two teams from each of the six different industry tracks will then move on to compete at the statewide competition. Regional competitions are held in each of New York’s ten geographic zones. Students attending a New York State accredited college or university in the following counties fall into the Southern Tier region; Broome, Chemung, Chenango, Delaware, Otsego, Schuyler, Steuben, Tioga and Tompkins.
The Southern Tier regional competition is supported by Binghamton University and Cornell University. The round one semi-final competition will feature a virtual model, allowing students to pitch via Zoom!
