The Executive Summary Contest (ESC) is the second of three contests hosted by the MIT $100K Entrepreneurship Competition.
As the Elevator Pitch Contest focused on idea generation, the Executive Summary Contest emphasizes team formation and idea refinement.
Why Enter?
Beyond the $100K glory, you should enter because you will be far more likely to get into the semi finals of the Business Plan Contest (BPC) because the first round submission for the BPC is – you guessed it – a two page executive summary.
Pushpins was named the winner of the Overall Judges Choice award and mobile track winner for the 2009-2010 MIT $100K Executive Summary Contest. The theme of the night was The Matrix and the MIT $100K’s search for “The One.” The competition organizers continued their efforts of combining entertainment with entrepreneurship, and created an evening full of excitement and comedy. The event started with a poster session where all semi-finalist teams displayed their ideas for the general public. Highlights of the evening included topics such as why a recession is a great time to be an entrepreneur, a preview of the upcoming MIT $100K Business Plan Contest, and an inspiring keynote address from Dr. Christina Lampe-Onnerud, CEO and Founder of Boston Power.
