WHAT IS THE NEW VENTURE FAIR?

The New Venture Fair (NVF) is a valuable part of Cal Lutheran’s entrepreneur education experience, in which student teams share their innovative startup projects in a competitive environment. The NVF is a dynamic and exciting evening where the community gets its first look at Cal Lutheran’s exceptional student entrepreneurs.

The NVF will highlight the startup ideas of many student teams in a trade show-style event, complete with product demonstrations, elevator pitches, and marketing brochures. The students participating in the Fair have been working on their ideas for several months. They represent the brightest, most motivated, aspiring entrepreneurs on campus.

This year, student projects will be available to view for an entire week online and also be presented at our live event. The NVF 2022 teams are from Cal Lutheran’s main campus, its Executive MBA in Europe Program, LionTREPS from Oaks Christian School, Thousand Oaks High School, Bakersfield Christian High School, Start-Up Kids, and One Spark Academy.

WHAT TO EXPECT

The NVF will begin at 4:00 p.m. and run through 7:00 p.m. All attendees will be invited into Soiland Arena, where each student team will have a display booth. Attendees will circulate through the booths, learn more about each startup, and vote for their favorite. A panel of “secret” expert judges also will be visiting each booth to evaluate the teams. Community and judge feedback will be used to decide on awards for student teams, including People’s Choice.

Awards will be presented at the end of the evening.

There is no fee to attend, but registration is required
to receive tickets for voting and to enjoy food and beverages.
