The SoCon Entrepreneurship Challenge, a product of the Southern Conference’s Academic Exchange program, is a pitch competition designed to showcase students with an idea for an innovative business or non-profit organization. The competition features two tracks – For-Profit and Non-Profit. All 10 institutions in the SoCon will have one team representing them in each track, with the selection process for the teams to be determined by each individual school. The winning team from each track will be awarded $10,000.
 
The Entrepreneurship Challenge, held for the first time in 2022, features a semifinal pitch round with all 20 teams presenting their ideas. A separate panel of judges for each track will identify a select number of teams to move on to the final pitch competition round.
