Business Plan Comp - 1st Place - $7500.00

Posted by: Jason Drohn In: young entrepreneur

I guess I do know what I am talking about sometimes?!

Yesterday I was at a business plan competition, presenting 2 ideas out of 8 finalists.  Each of them had working prototypes and a powerpoint presentation.

Personally, this is  huge accomplishment for me for a couple reasons.  Presentations have always been difficult but I knew it was one of the things that I needed to work through.  Secondly, both of the business ideas are completely viable businesses!  I am just glad I could convince other people of that!

There are videos coming.  They are being uploaded to google video as we speak.  I will get those posted ASAP.  Below are some pictures of the event though :0)

And John Byrtus, if you are reading this, thanks for all your help!

Thanks Jonathan, Dan, and Kyle! I am pretty excited. It will be interesting to see what happens next!

Whether I won or not, I was just trying to present better than I did before. Baby steps in overcoming a public speaking fear :0)

Superb! It’s never easy starting out in public presentations. The trick is practice and it definitely seems like you’re going places with it.

Keep us up-to-date with the product!

Is it possible to download a video of your first place business plan presentations? I have had a number of requests from professors for sample presentations to give to students.

Thanks!
