High school seniors at Akins, Lanier, Eastside Memorial, LBJ, Reagan and Travis high schools will be invited to participate in the Greater Austin Hispanic Chamber of Commerce's annual Startup Superstars event.

Students who participate in the “idea, plan and pitch” contest are encouraged to come up with an idea for a new business or product, develop a business plan and then pitch the idea and plan to a panel of judges at their school on Feb. 24.

The business idea/plan has no limits and can range from taco stands to high tech to social entrepreneurship. GAHCC volunteers will be available to any participating students to assist with the creation of the business idea, plan and pitch.

Students may work alone or in a group of a maximum of three. One (group) winner will be named from each school.

A grand prize winner (group) will be selected at the finals competition at 5 p.m. March 9 at the Zach Scott Theatre at 5 p.m. The grand prize winner will receive an education scholarship donated by the GAHCC Foundation.
