Entry Process
Idea Submission
The first step in entering the Competition is for the founder to submit a description of his business idea, including required contact information, on the IdeaBounce website. When posting an idea, founders may also indicate their needs, including team members, mentors, research partners, etc., and upload up to three files to the site.
Team Formation
Anyone is eligible to enter the Olin Cup Competition. Teams may be formed or changed as the competition progresses. The team formation process is aided by a series of workshops and networking events. Additionally, all visitors to the IdeaBounce website may view current competitors' idea descriptions and contact information. Ultimately teams must meet the following requirements:
- Teams must include at least one Washington University student or alumnus to be eligible for investment awards.
- Individuals may compete on more than one team.
- All submitted materials must be the original work of the contestants.
- Teams must submit all materials required by the Olin Cup Competition schedule.
- Teams which have previously secured funding must disclose the amounts and sources clearly in their business plan submission.
The Skandalaris Center reserves the right to disqualify any entry that violates the letter or spirit of the Olin Cup Competition.
