ABOUT US

Stanford Entrepreneur's Challenge (E-Challenge) is an annual business plan competition conducted by the Business Association of Stanford Engineering Students (BASES) with the purpose of developing the next generation of entrepreneurs.

E-Challenge participants learn about venture formation and explore their entrepreneurial dreams in a supportive environment. Throughout the year, we encourage you to participate in the workshops, team building activities, mentorship program, and the Industry Thought Leaders' Seminar. It is an opportunity to share and develop their skills, produce business ideas, and start companies. This program is open for students from all disciplines and not limited to business or engineering schools only.

All Stanford students, research and postdoctoral staff, and faculty are eligible to enter. Though individuals not affiliated with Stanford University are encouraged to participate, any entering team must have half of its members affiliated with Stanford University. The size of a team is not restricted, and neither is the number of entries submitted by each team. In the past, however, teams consisting of 3 to 7 members have been most successful.
Teams who participated in the E-Challenge have tremendously enjoy the benefit of having the opportunity to develop their ideas & business plans in a structured competition and interact with world-class judges and mentors. E-Challenge also designs a strong feedback mechanism from its judging rounds to deliver judges' feedback to participating teams. Judges and mentors consist of leading venture capitalists, industry experts, entrepreneurs and angel investors.

    Our team, LReady, is one of the e-Challenge finalists. We could use one more Stanford team member to help polish things up for the final round. Please email me if you are interested in helping out.

    We're also trying to fill out our actual launch team, so if you have business or web development skills please let us know!

    For our shameless pitch, I think we are the only team to have made the finals in both the Stanford and UC Berkeley bplan competitions.
