BASES 150k Challenge
Entrepreneurship Challenge &
Social Entrepreneurship Challenge
Welcome to the Stanford Business Model competitions, E-Challenge and Social E-Challenge, organized by the Business Association of Stanford Entrepreneurial Students (BASES).
Overview
Stanford Entrepreneur's Challenge (E-Challenge) is an annual business model competition conducted by BASES with the purpose of developing the next generation of entrepreneurs. It takes place during Winter and Spring quarters, and includes three rounds of judging.
The Social Entrepreneurship Challenge (Social-E) follows the structure of the E-Challenge, but is focused on companies with a clear focus solving a pressing social issue. Nonprofit or for-profit companies that demonstrate scalable business ideas with quantifiable social or environmental impacts are encouraged to apply to the Social E-Challenge.
Both competitions each award $50,000 in total prize money.
