The best business plans from college and university teams statewide were recently selected to compete in the next round of the state\u2019s premier business plan competition. Teams from nine Arkansas colleges and universities were announced as finalists in the Donald W. Reynolds Governor\u2019s Cup Graduate and Undergraduate Business Plan Competition today, in the eleventh annual contest. Twelve undergraduate and six graduate teams will advance to the next level. In the next round, the 12 advancing semi-finalist undergraduate teams will make a 20-minute presentation after which they will answer questions from judges for 15 minutes. Two judge\u2019s panels will determine the six finalist undergraduate teams. The six undergraduate finalist teams, along with the six graduate teams, will compete in the last round of oral presentations for first-, second- and third-place prizes April 7 and April 8 at The Peabody Hotel in Little Rock. \u201cYear after year, this competition showcases the incredible entrepreneurial spirit and initiative of our young adults,\u201d<\/em> said Kerri Daniels, executive director of the Arkansas Economic Acceleration Foundation, a nonprofit division of the Arkansas Capital Corporation, which underwrites the competition. \u201cWhen I see their ideas and their energy, I know I\u2019m looking at the future business leaders of Arkansas.\u201d<\/em> The competition puts participants through the rigors of creating in-depth and comprehensive business plans, which provide them with valuable experience in entrepreneurship, said Daniels. Students also get to meet and learn from the state\u2019s current business leaders, giving them another source of mentorship and guidance. Again this year, teams will compete for cash prizes, which will be awarded Wednesday, April 20, at State House Convention Center in Little Rock. And for the second year, the awards luncheon will feature an elevator pitch competition, in which finalists make 90-second potential investor pitches for the audience and judges. The 2011 Donald W. Reynolds Governor\u2019s Cup finalists include: Undergraduate Semi-Finalists<\/strong> <\/p>\n
