What is the InVenture Prize?
A New Type of ACC Competition
For decades ACC Universities have battled it out on sports fields and courts, but now the ACC's best minds come together for a competition like no other. The Atlantic Coast Conference InVenture Prize is a collaborative effort by institutional leadership from the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC). It represents an opportunity to stimulate undergraduate entrepreneurial activity and increase student-faculty engagement, to celebrate and highlight the exceptional creativity and ingenuity of our students, and to inspire a greater sense of camaraderie across the conference.
The ACC InVenture Prize is an innovation competition in which teams of undergraduates representing each ACC university pitch their inventions or businesses before a live audience and a panel of judges. Teams compete for $30,000 in prizes and a chance to be the next ACC InVenture Prize winner.
"Shark Tank isn’t the only place to watch the next generation of entrepreneurs showcase their wares. The Atlantic Coast Conference InVenture Prize competition is finding the best young innovative minds from universities."
