Teams spend a summer assessing technologies and then may choose to continue the business plan development process in the New Venture Planning course offered in the fall at the business school.

Competition opportunities are offered through the Venture Launch course in the winter, which includes possible entry into competitions held at Carnegie Mellon, Rice University, San Diego State University, Manitoba, Texas, Boise State, and the UO's New Venture Championship. If teams are selected, international competitions are held in the spring.
