Get help developing your new idea, invention or venture in the Skandalaris Venture Competition (SVC).

The SVC provides expert mentorship to new WashU ventures and startups to ready them for commercializing their idea, launching, and pitching to investors. Teams will develop materials focused on explaining the idea they are working on to a broad audience. 

Teams will develop an IdeaBounce® post, a 2-minute video pitch, and a one-page written summary. If selected as a finalist, teams will create a financial projections page and pitch with slides that will be presented for a Q&A session with judges.

Up to $22,500 in awards available – Thank you to Kishore Kanakamedala for supporting the SVC!

Who is eligible: All current WashU students and all WashU alumni within one year of graduation with an early-stage venture or idea.
