Lab coats are being ironed, promo stickers wrapped around candy bars, and strangers pulled off the street to help with utility testing. It’s time for the Business Plan Competition. This University of Washington tradition has awarded more than $1.4 million in prize money to 154 student companies over the last 20 years. This year we bring an incredible, innovative product that is sure to be competitive.
