I often complain that too much attention is focused on big companies, or high profile ventures. The Purdue University's Burton D. Morgan Center for Entrepreneurship third annual "Opportunity for Indiana Business Plan Competition" is one of the great exceptions.
The program is open to teams and individuals, offering an opportunity to compete for cash prizes up to $25,000. And because the program is supported by workshops on the Purdue campus participants win, not just the cash prize, but long term by creating a plan for their business.
Registration for 2006 will close September 15, 2006. If you are looking for funding, look here!
About Me
- Lorraine Ball
- “I am a teacher at heart. I love watching the light in someone’s eyes as they grasp a new idea, understanding how it applies to them.” As Creative Director, I am typically at the center of the managed chaos that is Roundpeg. With more than thirty years as a marketing professional (lie, tell me I don't look that old) I enjoy keeping things lively, living on the bleeding edge of new marketing. A native New Yorker, I am Hoosier by choice, and am committed to fostering growth and entrepreneurship in my adopted city. Recognized by the Indianapolis Business Journal as one of the Most Influential Women in Indianapolis, I am an active member of the local Indianapolis business community. When not at Roundpeg, I can be found, sharing what I knows in seminars and presentations around the country. I have an BA from Queens College, City University of NY, and an MBA from the University of Texas at Dallas.
