Westcliff University E-Biz Challenge

Westcliff University Launches E-Biz Challenge: Empowering Future Entrepreneurs

Westcliff University is proud to introduce its first-ever E-Biz Challenge, a groundbreaking entrepreneurship competition designed to inspire innovation, foster collaboration, and turn bold ideas into real-world business ventures. This unique opportunity is exclusively for current Westcliff students and its affiliate institutions, giving participants the chance to dive deep into the exciting world of eCommerce — one of the fastest-growing industries today.

Participants will progress through a dynamic series of stages, from refining their initial ideas to crafting detailed business plans and delivering compelling pitches. Along the way, they’ll receive mentorship from faculty and industry experts, gaining hands-on experience that bridges the gap between education and entrepreneurship.

The top 3 winners will be awarded a six-month incubation period with access to networking, mentorship, and specialized support from experts in marketing, finance, technology, and more. As well as collaboration with a team of Westcliff University SMART™ MBA Consulting students.

The first-place prize will be awarded $3,000 in seed funding to kick-start their ventures.

“This program isn’t just about coming up with ideas — it’s about transforming them into reality. It’s more than a competition; it’s a launchpad for innovation, where students gain the hands-on experience, mentorship, and confidence to build something truly meaningful.”

– Barry Sandrew, Director of Entrepreneurship, Westcliff University
