Entrepreneurship Pelican Cup

The Entrepreneurship Pelican Cup was founded by distinguished ULM alumnus Dhu Thompson, who is also the premier sponsor of the event. His increase of the prize money puts this competition among the top of its kind in the nation.

The Entrepreneurship Pelican Cup announces six finalists for the 2023 competition.

The competition requires a written formal business plan judged by business owners and investors.

The University of Louisiana Monroe and alumnus Dhu Thompson, founder and retired CEO of Delta Plastics, partnered to create the 2022 Entrepreneurship Pelican Cup to encourage students to develop innovative business ideas.
