As I volunteered serious time over the years in committees, on the board and became chairman of MITEF, I experienced hundreds of cases and came in touch with hundreds more entrepreneurs at MIT putting together with the first of the student clubs at that time, the first of MIT's business plan contests. Those volunteer experiences gave me the opportunity to teach business planning as an instructor at MIT, which I continue to do, which then led a couple of years later to having the privilege of teaching at Tufts.
That zest and passion of entrepreneurship, driven by Tufts' long history of scientific research and innovation results each spring in the Tufts $100K annual business planning contest held through the Derby Entrepreneurship Center at Tufts!
This year with a record number of applicants submitted during February, the next step in the process comes down to the virtual semi-finals which you can watch this Thursday on the 9th!
Put the date for the finals on April 19th in your calendar now, and hopefully I will see you there. All in all, an extraordinary experience, where absolutely everyone is a winner given the amount of detailed business planning in market and competitive research, go-to-market strategies and detailed financials that are required to be completed and submitted just to get into the process.

There's never a cost for a call or two, plus I love listening and talking about Sales & Marketing.
