1. IMPORTANT!!!: Modification of Rules and Executive Summary Submission
In an effort to simplify the submission process, there have been some slight modifications to the contest rules and the process for submitting your team’s executive summary. For the current rules and submission instructions, please visit the RULES PAGE at the Big Bang website.
2. Business Plan/Executive Summary and Pitch Workshop A Success!!
The Big Bang Organization Committee would like to thank Scott Lenet of DFJ Frontier for his great talk at last Wednesday’s Business Plan/Executive Summary and Pitch Workshop. We hope this talk provided your team with the information necessary to transform your ideas into a polished and successful Executive Summary and Business Plan for the competition.
3. STILL LOOKING FOR A TEAM? Team Formation Tool on YouNoodle
We have created a new group on YouNoodle with the intention of bringing members (with an idea or looking to join a team) together on a single portal. This tool gives users the option of browsing prospective participants’ profiles and will allow greater flexibility in seeking out team members. To access this group, please click here.
An alternative is to email the Big Bang Team Management (Maria Zhao and Srinivas Muppidi, contact information available on YouNoodle) with your profile as listed below. The team managers will use this profile information to match and bring together prospective teams. Please note that YouNoodle is easy and convenient, and should be the primary means used to form teams. However, the BB team managers are always available to assist you.
Please include the following information when emailing Team Management or when using the team formation tool on YouNoodle:
Name / Email / Phone No / Davis campus / Background (experience / program) / Target or Request segments / Got an Idea or looking for team.
Example:
Srinivas Muppidi / srmuppidi@ucdavis.edu / 530-555-1234 / Sac or San Ramon or Davis / Engineering, IT (MBA currently) / Green, Energy / Looking for a team
