Business Plan Competition

The Results of the University of Washington Business Plan Competition:

Everything went very well. The team put together an excellent investment oriented presentation, and we were all well prepared for the judges questions. Finally at the awards banquet all the hard work, blood, sweat, and tears paid off, as they proceeded to announce "MEDS, 'Best Idea in the International Catergory'." We were all very excited being a full undergraduate team up against the majority of teams with members currently involved in Master Programs, or having years of industry experience equivalent to that of our parents.

We have plans to use the prize money to fund a feasibility study to Cameroon. The next big steps we have planned are finding an Executive Director to really provide the necessary leadership of opening the doors to the institution.
