The Young Entrepreneur Tournament 

For Young Adults ages 11-18.

It all starts with an idea.

Discover what it takes to make your ideas a business reality in a series of fun, hands-on weekend sessions. Work with veteran business leaders and build a business model you can put into action TODAY. Pitch your idea to a panel of entrepreneurs and compete against your peers to win money (over $2,000 in prize money to give away!) to help you start your new enterprise.

YET offers individuals 11-18 an incredible opportunity. No idea is too small, no experience necessary to begin this exciting journey!

All applicants for the fall 2024 tournament are encouraged to attend the pre-tournament orientation and ideation session on Tuesday, October 1, 2024 at 200 W. Oak Street, Fort Collins from 6:00-8:00 PM. This session is designed to help you create and define your business idea(s) and get a jumpstart on your business plan. Pizza will be served.
