Venture Adventure gives undergraduate students the opportunity to present their ideas and plans for realistic new ventures to a panel of judges made up of entrepreneurs and investors. Teams receive valuable feedback from the judging panel that offers them insights into "real world" entrepreneurial challenges and allows them to focus on sharpening their business planning and presentation skills. Further, students hear about the work of others nationwide and discover different ways of planning and presenting their ideas. This year's participants report that the judges' feedback was "priceless" and as good as professional consulting.
