Ethan Fan ’20, Jack Butler ’22 and Logan Moniz ’22 competed in the start–up business division with a proposal for a water-sport rental company on Cape Cod. All four students enjoyed the chance to present their plans to business professional. When asked about the experience Ben said, “Although we didn't take home any awards, we learned a lot about the process of creating a feasible start-up business.
