The UC Berkeley Business Plan Competition is a forum in which UC Berkeley students and alumni can develop and test their business vision and plans. Besides being a source of information about the competition, the site also serves as a collaboration tool for the participants. Quimbik is proud to support the efforts of up-and-coming entrepreneurs by sponsoring the Haas Business Plan competition.

Founded in 1999, the UC Berkeley Business Plan Competition has continued to evolve as a leading Bay Area event and one of the nation’s foremost business plan competitions. The competition gives students, alumni and local entrepreneurs the opportunity to work together to turn innovative ideas into real businesses. The event also brings together the finest research and technology ideas from both UC Berkeley and UC San Francisco. Each year participants develop business plans that are based on some of the most exciting new technologies. Last year more than 200 aspiring entrepreneurs entered plans in areas as diverse as nanotechnology, biotechnology, computing services and software, consumer goods, financial services, and the Internet.
