    NetWork Kansas Announces Conclusion of 11th Annual Statewide Youth Entrepreneurship Competition Series

    April 29, 2024

    NetWork Kansas’ Entrepreneurship (E-) Community Partnership announces the conclusion of the 2023-2024 Youth Entrepreneurship Challenge (YEC) Series. Each winning team earned the chance to participate at the 2024 Kansas Entrepreneurship Challenge (KEC) State Championship, held on April 16, 2024, at the Kansas State University Student Union. Students win a berth to compete in the KEC by winning a sanctioned YEC Series competition or by being selected as one of sixteen wildcard participants, chosen due to the strength of their executive summary and pre-recorded elevator pitch. In total, 72 businesses and 81 students participated in KEC.

    The YEC Series consists of local-level youth entrepreneurship competitions hosted by volunteers. Local YEC Series events require students to prepare an executive summary and a formal presentation, and often feature interactive tradeshows or elevator pitches. Students work in teams or individually to represent a business concept and compete for awards and prizes. Students’ work is judged by local entrepreneurs, public sector partners, teachers, and other community members.
