Win seed funding to launch your venture. Applications due January 23, 2019 online. Many steps are involved in translating great ideas into great businesses. A key step is the creation of a business plan. A business plan attempts to address the uncertainties surrounding the many decisions you have to make about your businesses. It is a blueprint and a roadmap. The Panasci Business Plan Competition is a campus-wide student business plan competition, hosted by the Entrepreneurship and Emerging Enterprises Department at the Whitman School of Management.
The Panasci Business Plan Competition Semi-finals will be held on Friday, April 12th, 2019 in the Whitman School of Management. The top five teams will then move on to compete in the finals, which will be held on Saturday, April 13th. These events are open to the Syracuse community.
