Welcome! Aspiring e-commerce entrepreneurs, this competition is a unique opportunity to turn your innovative (dare we say, ingenious) business concepts and plans into reality. Through this competition, ATG will connect budding entrepreneurs with leaders in e-commerce, and provide valuable feedback from visionaries who have shaped and continue to guide the e-commerce industry.

Your business plan will be evaluated by a panel of leading industry experts. The winning plan will gain $50,000 in capital to invest in realizing your business concept.

Eligibility
The competition is open to individuals or teams of e-commerce entrepreneurs, as well as professionals from seed or early-stage companies. e-Commerce must be a business-critical component of the success of the proposed business. Examples of encouraged submission concepts could include:

  • New technology offerings to attract and retain specific customer segments
  • Solutions for creating loyal communities of e-commerce consumers
  • Visionary UI developments, or approaches to personalized e-commerce experiences
  • Vehicles to deliver cutting-edge e-commerce experiences to new industries
