The Zahn Prize is an annual open entrepreneurship competition for City College students, faculty and staff. Compete for one of the 6 semi-finalist spots and gain access to our incubator services at the Zahn Center, a $1,500 budget, and our Lean Startup bootcamp in preparation for the Final Pitch Event. We award a grand prize of $30,000 to the winning team to help them bring their innovation to market.
The Zahn Prize for Entrepreneurship was established in 2013 by Grove School of Engineering Alum Irwin Zahn as a core program of the Zahn Innovation Center at City College. Learn more about Irwin Zahn and the Moxie Foundation.
