2025 Tulane Business Model Competition Semi-final Round

The Tulane Business Model Competition provides funding to early-stage student ventures that demonstrate how they are adapting to their customers' needs. After the initial application process, six semi-finalists are selected to compete in the Semi-Final Round.

From there, judges will choose three finalists to advance to the Final Round. In this round, the finalists will pitch their business models to a panel of judges, who will determine the first, second, and third place winners. The 2025 grand prize is $125,000, which will be awarded to the top-performing teams.

The Final Round will take place on Tuesday, March 25th, from 10:00 AM to 1:30 PM at Tulane University, Freeman School of Business, Marshall Family Commons. Get your free ticket
