Generally speaking, we are open to anyone who shares entrepreneurship interest. No requirement in major or discipline.

However, we think students over 15 years old would be more comfortable playing in our setting, considering the stress and level of professionalism expected during competitions.

Students form teams and act as startup owners of virtual companies, making real-time business decisions over multiple fiscal years. The goal is to generate the highest revenue, with awards for additional achievements.

Typically, each event spans 3-5 fiscal years, with each “year” lasting 1-3 hours in real time, making it a full-day experience. If you have a different schedule preference, please come talk to us.

Students gain practical business knowledge, experience the challenges of running a startup, and develop collaboration and decision-making skills. Many also form connections with potential co-founders or team members.

No prior knowledge is required. SimBus is designed to introduce students to fundamental business concepts and help them learn through experience.

Prior knowledge will help navigating the process, but there’s no guaranteed advantage, since the human factor is more dominant in our program.

SimBus combines real-time, hands-on business operations with a competitive marketplace setting. Providing a unique, immersive experience that typical case studies or simulations don’t offer.

Yes! Reach out to us, and we’d be happy to discuss how to bring SimBus to your institution.
