Submit Your Business Plan
The Rutt Bridges Venture Fund (RBVF) is an early stage, micro-investment fund operated by a cross-disciplinary team of University of Colorado Denver (CU Denver) students. We are currently accepting business plan submissions for innovative, high-impact startups and small businesses in which to make investments of $5,000 to $50,000. Please note that we do not invest in real estate, gambling, cannabis or any other industry incompatible with the mission of CU Denver.
Every applicant must provide a business plan and/or pitch deck that meets our requirements listed at jakejabscenter.org/rbvf. After reviewing all submissions that meet the requirements, the best will be selected to give a live presentation to the RBVF team. Any investment proposals by the RBVF team will then be communicated back via a specific term sheet.
We accept business plans at the beginning of the fall and spring semesters every year. Our next submission deadline is Wednesday, Feb. 28th, 2024.
Attach your business plan as a PDF or Word doc below. Every business plan must include a company description, market analysis, strategic plan, and a clearly articulated financial plan/ask and projections.
