SLL-Venture Innocation Challenge Website Graphic-2402-27

Venture: Entrepreneurial Innovation Challenge is an annual competition designed to inspire ingenuity and promote a biblical perspective of entrepreneurship. Grounded in a biblical worldview, this challenge presents entrepreneurial teams with a problem and encourages them to develop an innovative solution to that problem, build a business around that solution, and pitch their ideas to a distinguished Venture Investor Panel (adjudicators).

Schools will use the Venture: Entrepreneurial Innovation Challenge module to guide student teams in a project-based entrepreneurial learning experience rooted in a biblical worldview. The challenge will culminate in a competition celebrating ingenuity and innovation.
