Netdrafter is proud to announce it’s support and sponsorship of the 2009 Mid-Atlantic Business Plan Competition. The contest, headed by the MIT Enterprise Forum of Washington/Baltimore, is open to any college student enrolled in a degree-granting institution in Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia, or the District of Columbia.
| From Sau Yang, MABPC Co-Chair: We’d like to take a moment to thank our generous sponsors who have made this competition possible. We are excited to announce that we currently have $10,000 in cash and a variety of in-kind donations, including patent submission, sales training, website development, digital media training, small business consulting, marketing collateral development, and legal services. In this challenging economy, we are particularly grateful to these sponsors for supporting the Mid-Atlantic entrepreneurial community with such generosity. |
After a preliminary round, top scoring students and teams will submit business plans to be judged by prominent entrepreneurs and venture capitalists. The winners will be announced at the public finale event at Georgetown University on Saturday May 2, 2009. Winners will be awarded cash prizes and valuable in-kind donations of time and expertise by leading business consultants in a variety of fields.
As a young entrepreneur and Women’s Business Center of Northern Virginia’s business plan contest winner, Rachel Pastirik, Netdrafter’s President is pleased to be a part of the event. “We need more events like this to encourage students to pursue technology careers and innovate in the field” says Pastirik.
