All the Business Plans and the Executive summaries that participate in Eureka! are regarded as extremely confidential. They are disclosed only to the Judges and Incubators (if the team permits). We provide a brief summary of some entries on the web site. We encourage you to contact the teams directly to discuss receiving copies of the plans.
Teams can be of any size, but a typical team consists of 3 to 7 members. You may include faculty, industrialists, professionals etc in your team. Each team should determine what expertise it needs to develop a successful business plan and build a team to meet those needs.
We allow single participation, though a team is recommended.
Business plans will be evaluated based on the quality of the plan, the feasibility of the plan and the size of the market opportunity and other judging parameters. Judging will be conducted by a group of successful entrepreneurs, Venture Capitalists and experienced people from the industry.
No, we encourage the entry of all well developed business plans.
Please see our Online Resources page. Teams qualifying in the first round can request a mentor from the entrepreneurial community to provide assistance and guidance in developing a successful business plan.
Mentors are experienced entrepreneurs or experts of specific fields who provide assistance and guidance to competition participants. Mentors will offer suggestions and feedback to help participants develop and refine a business plan. Competition participants are not required to have a mentor, although teams are strongly encouraged to take advantage of this opportunity. Teams can select a mentor on their own or request that the competition committee assign a mentor to help them.
A mentor will be allotted to all the teams that qualify in the second round. The mentoring session will long through a period of January-February. The session will be divided into parts that will help the teams get more out of the session.
