Entrepreneurship is grass-roots economic development.
Whether you have a great business idea, want to be an entrepreneur or a venture capitalist, or simply want to explore self-employment options and what being your own boss would be like, we hope you will check out our workshops throughout the year.
The Smith College Draper Business Plan Competition is designed to introduce Smith students to the skills they need to plan and launch a viable start-up company. As part of this hands-on experience, students will learn frameworks within which to evaluate the sustainability of their ideas and how to present their business plan to potential investors.
