The Business Launch Competition Team
Join Boston University Graduate School of Management on Friday, April 5, 2013, for the 18th Annual Boston University Net Impact Case Competition!
This year’s Competition will feature teams from top MBA programs in the Boston area battling it out over a live case provided by Waltham-based Preserve.
Preserve is a leading environmentally-responsible business which produces innovative home goods made from 100% recycled plastic. Their slogan, “Nothing Wasted. Everything Gained.” embodies the passion and entrepreneurial spirit for which Net Impact club members are renowned.
Four-person teams will be provided with the live case one week in advance. On the night of the event, each team will pitch their solution to a panel of industry-leading judges, followed by an extended evening of socializing with other teams, judges speakers, and area professionals.
