We have a new virtual rallying cry at i2E: Love's Cup Is Unstoppable!
In this unreal time of COVID-19, let me tell you what that means.
This year is the 16th year of the widely acclaimed Love's Entrepreneur’s Cup statewide collegiate business plan competition. From day one, the vision for Love's Cup (formerly the Donald W. Reynolds Governor's Cup) has been to give college and university students the opportunity to simulate the real world of researching a market, writing a business plan and making a presentation to potential investors. We want them to see how rewarding and exciting entrepreneurship can be but also introduce them to the skills required to succeed in the corporate world.
Four years ago, Love's Travel Stops & Country Stores became the competition's Signature Sponsor. This family-owned and operated company is the ideal entrepreneurial icon for college students who aspire to take great ideas and build a feasible business plan. Dozens of Oklahoma companies, civic organizations, universities and our state through the Oklahoma Center for the Advancement of Science and Technology united behind the competition and have been magnificent in their funding, scholarships and support as advisers and judges.
That brings us to today and the 2020 Love's Cup, and our virtual rallying cry.
Love's Cup kicks off every November with Who Wants to Be an Entrepreneur and continues into late April culminating with an awards gala where the winners are announced. We were in the middle of the competition when the pandemic shutdown occurred. Student teams had submitted written business plans; the next step for the finalist teams were oral competitions in front of live judges. Then classes were halted. Schools closed and went to online. Students went back to their homes.
And that's when Love's Cup became unstoppable.
Sarah Seagraves, i2E's senior VP of marketing, and the team of dedicated college advisers, competition judges and committed sponsors across Oklahoma, pivoted to an entirely new virtual, online format.
