The Regnier Family Foundations New Venture Challenge Competition plays a big role in the Institute. Students from both undergraduate and graduate level classes evaluate technologies and work with the inventor and community resources to build business plans. 

Judging guidelines reflect the assessment criteria of potential investors, including venture capitalists, business angels, banks, universities or public institutions, the overriding criterion being fundability – would someone invest in this idea?
