We also want to extend a huge thank you to State Bank of Southern Utah for sponsoring our event!

Bootstrap Your Business
Bootstrap Your Business is a unique competition where the PROCESS is more important than the PRODUCT.
As you build your business, our GRIT Center mentors will walk you through Customer Interviews, Crafting and Testing a Prototype, and Developing your MVP (Minimum Viable Product).

SnowDown
The SnowDown Business Model competition is the culmination of Entrepreneurship Week! SnowDown doesn't require a business to be actively making money, only for the teams to create and explain their business plan. There is also a Video Voting aspect to win extra cash!
