The NASDAQ Stock Market welcomes the winners of
the MOOT CORP(R) Competition, the world's original and most lucrative
new venture competition for MBAs. This year, teams from 30 universities
in 10 countries competed in the global business plan competition
that simulates the process of entrepreneurs soliciting start-up
funds. Panels consisting of VCs, Entrepreneurs, Attorneys, CEOs
and Accountants judged the teams.
About MOOT CORP(R) Competition
The MOOT CORP(R) Competition has variously been described as "the
Super Bowl of world business plan competition," "the mother
of all business plan competitions" and "the granddaddy
of them all." Now in its 21st year, it is the original business
plan competition and was developed by UT MBAs in 1984. In the last
five years, business plan competitions in business schools have
become almost as popular as moot court competitions in law schools.
