Program Overview

High school business pitch contest linked to the University of Oregon’s New Venture Championship, focused on entrepreneurship and startups.

The **New Venture Championship** is a collegiate-level global business plan and venture pitch competition hosted by the University of Oregon’s Lundquist College of Business. In recent years, the event has periodically included a **high school track or showcase**, where high school student teams can present startup ideas and gain exposure to entrepreneurship, though this offering is not consistently run every year and details can vary. High school participants (when the track is offered) typically work in teams to develop a business concept, prepare a pitch and basic business plan, and present to judges made up of entrepreneurs, investors, and business professionals. Students receive feedback on their ideas, learn core entrepreneurial concepts, and gain experience presenting in a professional setting. Because the high school component is not a fixed, annually standardized program, eligibility, format (in-person vs. virtual), and any fees may change year to year; interested students should check the official site or contact organizers directly for the latest high school opportunities connected to NVC.
