Congratulations! (we wouldn't expect any less ;)
Congratulations everyone!
It's business plan competition here also in Northeast Ohio. I've recently been a judge on a regional university led competition and also for a local professional networking group. They are a lot of fun and I'm always impressed at the passion, creativity and hard work participants bring to the competition - even with very small cash prizes and no guarantee of actually starting a business.
Good job everyone - it may sound trite, but you are ALL truly a winner.
What a smart looking group! I'm already missing the giggling room.
