My team just placed runner up in an ivy Bplan competition...and I absolutely agree 100% with what the article said.
We didn't enter the competition to demonstrate how great our idea was, we did it mostly for the monetary prize money, as well as a chance to practice our pitch and meet some investors along the way. At the end of the day, it is a great networking opportunity and a chance to practice presentation skills.
- DTrejo 16y agoMy team also recently placed runner-up in an Ivy B-plan competition. We realized that the idea won't work well in practice and that the team dynamics are far from ideal. I got a taste for what a business plan looks like, and how it is not very helpful when it comes to actually building a business.
