From Startup Houston:
The Rice Alliance has gone and outdone themselves again by nearly doubling the amount of funds that will be awarded at this year’s Business Plan Competition. They will be awarding over $600,000 dollars in funds for approximately 36 different graduate teams from around the world, which enables them to lay claim to hosting “the largest and richest intercollegiate MBA/graduate-level business plan competition in the world, with more prize money, more teams competing, and more judges than any other competition.†(Somebody please tell me they are videotaping this thing, because I think this would make a great reality show). Also, according to their web site, every team will receive some type of cash award so noone goes home empty handed.
