What is the Cangialosi Business Innovation Competition (CBIC)?
CBIC is an opportunity for UMBC graduate and undergraduate students who aspire to fulfill entrepreneurial pursuits. Participants will experience the process of planning a startup business by submitting a competitive and realistic 3-5 page business plan and qualifiers will present their idea in a final competition.
NOTE: The CBIC requires that technology (mobile, web, etc.), be a focus of your startup idea.
Who should participate?
Any UMBC student (full or part time, graduate or undergraduate) with a dream of launching his or her own business and who plans on actively pursuing that dream.
Why participate?
The CBIC is a next level competition designed to give aspiring entrepreneurs a real opportunity to experience every aspect of planning to launch a startup. The competition will pair you with business mentors from the community and give you practice presenting your idea to a panel of experts. It will also provide “real world” experience and helpful feedback. In addition to mentorship from real world experts, the program is also designed to connect students to the local entrepreneurial ecosystem.
