Every year, each of the 15 ACC universities selects their very best undergraduate student entrepreneurs to represent them and compete against other ACC schools in this Shark Tank-style entrepreneurship competition. For the 2021 year, the competition will be hosted by NC State University and 13 of the 15 ACC teams will be competing for 1st place ($15,000), 2nd place ($10,000) and a People’s Choice award ($5,000)!
For the very first time since its inception in 2016, the ACC InVenture Prize is going virtual for 2021 and North Carolina State University will once again serve as the host university for the competition. The 1-hour award ceremony will be broadcasted on April 21, 2021 at 7 p.m. via this website and PBS stations across the ACC.
