Niche Video Media Wins Georgia State Business Plan Competition
Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) December 02, 2013 -- The Herman J. Russell Sr. International Center for Entrepreneurship at Georgia State University recently announced that Niche Video Media™, LLC won first place in its annual Business Plan competition. Out of the 62 businesses in the contest, three finalists were chosen. On November 15, 2013, the three finalists faced their final evaluation in front of a three-judge panel. Niche Video Media walked away with First Prize, followed by Abbey of the Holy Goats, Brewery.
“We are extremely excited to have earned such a distinction,” Said Glen West, Chief Customer Officer. “It is such an honor to have a distinguished panel of entrepreneurs recognize the value and quality of our business model.”
The annual business plan competition of the Herman J. Russell Sr. International Center for Entrepreneurship is open to all Georgia State University students and recent graduates. This is a wonderful opportunity for the students to have their business model reviewed by industry leaders and successful entrepreneurs. In addition, the winning entry collects the Herman J. Russell, Sr. Venture Award and the Moses Lee Reid Entrepreneurship Award – a grand prize totaling $10,000.
The business plans are evaluated using three criteria: the quality of the written plan as well as whether or not it is complete, the quality of the presentation and the innovativeness and potential of the proposed business. After the first round of submissions, a small group of entries are invited to the final competition. These finalists give an oral presentation in front of an audience as well as a panel of judges comprised of established entrepreneurs and investors. At the conclusion of each presentation, the judges further test each finalist with a grueling question and answers session. There is no guaranteed winner each year because if the judges feel that none of the entries meet the high standards of the criteria, then no award will be given. It is an honor to win the competition as it recognizes exceptional business ventures.
