What is the CapSource Case Competition?
For the past 8 years, CapSource has served as a trusted partner for experiential learning. We’ve been working together to provide our network of institutions with a way to challenge their students through a Live Case Competition. This approach allows our shared network of schools to test out our high-impact experiential learning technology while enabling schools and their educators to develop their students professionally.
About CapSource
CapSource is an experiential learning platform that connects universities, students, and industry partners through real-world projects. Instead of traditional case studies or hypothetical assignments, CapSource helps schools embed live business challenges directly into their courses.
