Troy, N.Y. - Budding student entrepreneurs are invited to a
workshop sponsored by Rensselaer's Severino Center for
Technological Entrepreneurship at the Lally School of
Management and Technology. The workshop, "How to Write a
Successful Business Plan," will be held Wednesday, Jan. 22,
from 6-8 p.m. at the Albany-Colonie Regional Chamber of
Commerce office in Colonie. This workshop is free to all
participants.
Led by Lally School professors Andrew Corbett, assistant
professor of strategic management and entrepreneurship, and
Nicholas Young, assistant professor of management and
sociology, the workshop will walk participants through the
process of writing a business plan, and offer advice and tips
on creating a viable plan that can capture the attention of
venture capitalists. The workshop was organized to give
prospective entrants of Rensselaer's Tech Valley Collegiate
Business Plan Competition a resource for putting together
submissions, says Jeanne Stefanik, manager of the Severino
Center.
