Regis University Innovation Challenge

The best ideas rarely get built alone.

Talking through your idea with the right people can expose problems, create new opportunities, and turn an early concept into something worth building. The Innovation Challenge is a place to test ideas, get feedback, and keep moving forward.

Stronger founders build brighter tomorrows. But strong founders rarely build alone.

The Regis Innovation Challenge is designed to surround entrepreneurs with the people, ideas, opportunities, and resources that help turn an early concept into something real. Founders move through months of pitching, mentorship, customer discovery, financial thinking, business-model development, and feedback—building stronger ventures at every stage.

Over the past decade, that ecosystem has supported 230+ businesses, engaged 90+ volunteer mentors, and invested more than $350,000 directly into entrepreneurs.

Because the Innovation Challenge isn’t only about who stands on the Finals stage. It’s about building a stronger entrepreneurial community—one founder, one connection, and one idea at a time.

Some of the biggest companies started with ideas that sounded questionable at first.

The goal isn’t to wait until you find the “perfect” idea. Start with a problem you care about, build something, put it in front of real people, and learn from what happens.

Your first version probably won’t be the answer. That’s the point. Build. Learn. Iterate.

Have an idea worth testing? The Regis Innovation Challenge is a place to start.

Build fast. Learn faster.

A strong idea does not need to be perfect before it reaches people. Start with a useful version, put it in front of real users, and pay attention to what they actually need. The feedback you get can help you improve the product, challenge assumptions, and make better decisions faster.

The goal is not to avoid mistakes. It is to learn from them early and keep moving.

The best ideas start with a real problem.

Before building the solution, find the friction, talk to the people experiencing it, and validate that the problem is worth solving.

Problem → People → Evidence → Solution

An MVP, or Minimum Viable Product, is the simplest version of your idea that you can put in front of real users.

The goal isn’t to build everything at once. Build the core idea, test it, learn from real feedback, and improve from there.

Start small. Get feedback. Improve fast.
