If you have an idea for a product, app or service that employs business concepts to solve a social problem, you could win cash and support to make it a reality.

Ten years ago, the TCU Neeley Institute for Entrepreneurship and Innovation had a dream: reward college students who come up with innovative business ideas that make a profit while also making a valid impact on our community.
They created the Richards Barrentine Values and Ventures® Competition to do just that.
To celebrate the competition’s 10th anniversary, the Institute raised the total cash prizes for the global competition from $100,000+ to $200,000+.
Here is your chance to win.
TCU students from any major can compete in the internal Values and Ventures competition on February 25, 2020, for a chance to win $2,500 First Place, $1,500 Second Place or $1,000 Third Place. First place advances to represent TCU at the global competition in April – and the chance to win some of that $200,000.
