The Entrepreneurship Written Event involves the development of a proposal to start a new business, a self-analysis (including the willingness to take risks), an analysis of the business situation, a description of the way the business will operate and detailed plans for financing the business through its first three years of operation. Any type of business may be used. The Entrepreneurship Written Event will provide the participants with the opportunity to design and conduct a marketing research study, to identify the potential for entrepreneurship, prepare a written proposal for a new business based on the research and request financing for the proposal in a role-playing interview with a bank or venture capital official.
