plan event involving the development of a proposal to start a new business,
a self-analysis including the willingness to take risks, an analysis of the
business situation, a description of the way the business will operate and
detailed plans for financing the business through its first three years of
operation.
The participant team composed of one to three members has designed and conducted a marketing research study and prepared a proposal for a new business based on the research. The team will request financing for the proposal in an interview with a bank or venture capital official (judge). Prior to the presentation, the judge will evaluate the written portion, the major emphasis of which is the content. The oral presentation may be a maximum of 15 minutes in length—10 minutes for the team presentation and 5 minutes for judge questioning. The team members will explain the proposal and make the request for financing. The judge will evaluate the presentation, focusing on the effectiveness of public speaking and presentation skills and how well the students respond to questions the judge may ask during the presentation.
