The Spark Teen Accelerator Challenge is not just an entrepreneurship competition – it’s the application process for the Spark Teen Accelerator, where companies are forged in flame. This program is not about rewarding smart business ideas with prize money, we’re about making those ideas actually happen through return-free investment. The program is looking for companies that are ready to put in the hard work to launch and grow their company.
Competition Process
- Round 1: Pitch – Submit a five-minute pitch to its online portal. The top teams from its live pitch fest events held earlier this year will also advance to the next stage
- Round 2: Business Proposal – Teams that have qualified for Round 2 submit a three-page business proposal and a one-page budget plan. While the pitch was more focused on storytelling, the business proposal gets into the nitty-gritty
- Finalists: Fireside Chat-Finalist teams have a casual twenty-minute virtual conversation with an experienced entrepreneur, who will choose the top teams to receive the award
