<Title>The Cangialosi Business Innovation Competition</Title>
<Tagline>Pitc Your Idea Today</Tagline>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">APRIL 24, 2014<br>
    First Prize= $5,000, Second Prize = $2,000, Third Prize = $1,000<br>
    REGISTER HERE<br>
    <br>
    <strong>WHAT IS THE CANGIALOSI BUSINESS INNOVATION COMPETITION (CBIC)?</strong><br>
    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.<br>
    <br>
    <strong>WHO SHOULD PARTICIPATE?</strong><br>
    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.<br>
    <br>
    <strong>WHY PARTICIPATE?</strong><br>
    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. And, of course, the cash prizes to help you take your 
    idea to the next level!<br>
    <br>
    <strong>WHAT TO DO NOW?</strong><br>
    Stage 1:<br>
    To enter the first stage of the competition, complete the business plan 
    template and candidacy application form found at 
    <a href="http://entrepreneurship.umbc.edu/cbic-entry-form" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">http://entrepreneurship.umbc.edu/cbic-entry-form</a>. Deadline for 
    application is March 6th. This business plan will be reviewed by a panel
     of qualified experts for quality of the business plan (e.g., 
    feasibility, market opportunity, etc.) and the expressed level of 
    interest and motivation the applicants have to actually build/launch a 
    business.<br>
    <br>
    Stage 2:<br>
    Candidates selected to proceed to Stage 2 will be notified by March 
    13th. They will be paired with a business mentor to help polish their 
    business plan. They will also be provided with additional coaching and 
    introduced to UMBC resources and regional support programs.<br>
    <br>
    Stage 3:<br>
    Individuals/teams that complete Stage 2 will be invited to present their
     business plans to a final panel of judges on April 24th. The top 3 
    winners in the competition will receive cash prizes up to $5,000. 
    Additionally, they will be awarded with prize packages designed to 
    support the launch of their business. Prizes could include a 6 month 
    complimentary membership to Betamore, business advisory services as 
    affiliate members of bwtech or other local incubators, the opportunity 
    to pitch their idea to the local angel investment community, free access
     to regional business support programming, and more.<br>
