Incubator’s student business competition deadline extended

The deadline for students to submit a team application for the Fredonia Technology Incubator’s Student Business Competition, which has led to the formation of new businesses and their significant growth through access to incubator services, has been extended to Friday, Dec. 20.

The first place recipient will receive a prize of $1,200 and office space for one year at the incubator.

During the course of the spring semester finalists will be assigned a mentor and receive help to develop their business idea. The incubator’s spring entrepreneurial classes will include a business model canvas and effective pitch presentation which will help finalists prepare for the final pitch presentation to a panel of judges in April.

The competition is entering its fifth year.

The application, which seeks answers to nine questions and contact information, is available on the FTI website under the competition tab or go online. Application questions are based off the applicant’s business model canvas.
