Last Wednesday the Harvard Biotech Club officially kicked-off their business plan competition with a terrific keynote/panel discussion/mixer event at Merck Research Laboratories. The feedback I’ve received so far has been super positive and I’d love to hear from you too!

What was the most useful part of the night? What could we do better? Did you find a team? Do you need to follow up with someone you met on the night?

As one of the co-managing directors of the Biotech Club, we are incredibly excited for this year’s b-plan competition, especially as our lead-up events (like the kickoff next week) are starting to fall in place. But what about you?

As a scientist who has never strayed much from academic research, for me, participating in a b-plan comp sounds completely foreign (but fun!). For my boyfriend, the budding entrepreneur and winner of 2 comps already, he is definitely the veteran of our household.

I’m curious to know: how many of you have experience with b-plan comps? What are your thoughts? Positive? Useful? Stimulating?

Welcome to the GSAS Harvard Biotechnology Club’s 8th Annual Business Plan Competition Forum. We have created this group to help interested entrepreneurs put their ideas down and compete for start-up money. More importantly the business contacts and networking opportunities will undoubtedly help get your ideas off the ground. There is nothing like getting advice from people who have been there, and know the ropes. We hope that in this forum you will feel free to ask questions, and that members or non-member interested parties will help answer questions that are posed.
Happy writing!
