2018 Governor’s Cup Winners Announced

Here at Arkansas Capital, our main goal is to empower local entrepreneurs– those of every age. That’s why, in 2001, the idea of the Arkansas Governor’s Cup was formed.

This prestigious, statewide competition challenges college and universities’ best and brightest entrepreneurs to develop and present business plans. The reward? A real-world, rigorous startup experience and an opportunity to win part of the country’s largest cash prize pools for collegiate business plan competitions!

On April 18, with over 500 people in attendance, our awards luncheon was held at the Statehouse Convention Center. Representing more than 30 teams from Arkansas Tech University, Arkansas State University, Arkansas School for Math, Sciences & the Arts; Harding University, Henderson State University, Hendrix College, John Brown University, Ouachita Baptist University, University of Arkansas, University of Arkansas at Little Rock, University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff and University of Central Arkansas; the winners took away a cumulative $154,000 in cash prize awards provided by title sponsor, Delta Plastics.
