FSB Student Showdown

"Many schools are launching business plan contests to give students experience in raising capital. The plans are more than academic exercises. The winners of our second annual business plan contest, the FSB Student Showdown, already had funding or clients, or both. To find the teams, FSB invited winners of universities' internal business plan contests to compete against teams from schools across the nation in an all-star competition. It wasn't easy for our panel of experts to choose the winners from the 58 entries that arrived from 45 schools. They ranged from biomedical companies to a team from the University of North Carolina that wants to sell tacos in India." Like Belmont University, many other schools are doing the entrepreneurship "thing." Student businesses, like the ones introduced at Belmont last year including Reverb Medeia, BLVD Gallery, and more recently Feedback Clothing, get to compete on a wider playing field and against poeple from accorss the country. This seems to be a very cool thing that FSB is doing to provoke entrepreneurial thought.. --be bold
