Calling all Aging Start-Ups!!! Business Plan Competition!

BUSINESS PLAN COMPETITION CRITERIA & RULES

Do you have a business plan or startup venture that shows significant business potential for the burgeoning baby boomer market, which represents more than $2 trillion in spending power? We invite you to enter your business plan for the 2010 Silicon Valley Boomer Business Plan Competition. From early-stage ventures in medicine to media, fashion to financial services and beyond, the 2011 Boomer Business Plan Competition aims to generate the best ideas from the best universities and tap into the business expertise and creativity of entrepreneurs around the globe.

Based on the feedback received from some participants, we are announcing slight changes in the competition format and dates. We have consolidated Round 1 and Round 2 of the business-plan competition. For the combined round, we will accept up to a 20-page business-plan (page-count includes the executive summary and financials) until May 12, 5 PM PDT.

We would love to know the people behind these business-plans, so we would prefer (not required) if you could submit a short (up to 2 minutes) video. (You can email the video, or upload a You Tube clip).
