LOVE'S ENTREPRENEUR'S CUP

Follow Us

The Love’s Cup, formerly the Donald W. Reynolds Governor’s Cup, is a statewide collegiate business plan competition that simulates the real world process of researching a market, writing a business plan and making a presentation to potential investors.

Through the competition, we are proving that Oklahoma has the resources and commitment to grow more entrepreneurs who will lead future startups that will create jobs and wealth for the state.

In the 16 year history…

  • Nearly 2,458 college students have taken the challenge
  • Awarded $2.1M in cash, $155K in scholarships and $250K in fellowships
  • Produced more than 740 innovative ideas from 36 campuses statewide
  • More than 38 plans have turned into a scalable business and became i2E clients
High Growth Division

The High Growth Division of the competition is the place for aspiring entrepreneurs to kick start their journey. Students from any college campus in Oklahoma are invited to write a business plan around a high-growth concept in one of five industry categories.

Small Business Division

The Small Business Division offers the opportunity to write business plans around any basic business concept, provided the approach is innovative and/or unique. The division is open to teams from non-research campuses, two-year colleges and private regional universities.
