Whitman School of Management
The Panasci Business Plan Competition is a campus-wide student business plan competition, hosted by the Falcone Center for Entrepreneurship in the Whitman School of Management, and made possible by long-time Whitman School supporter, the late Henry A. Panasci, founder of Fay’s Drugs. While there are many steps involved in translating great ideas into great businesses, a key step is the creation of a business plan. A business plan may address the uncertainties surrounding the many decisions you have to make about your businesses. It is a blueprint and a roadmap.
Any team of students from any school or college at Syracuse University can enter the Panasci Business Plan Competition. Individuals can also enter; however, the team leader must be enrolled as a student in an SU program. The submissions must be the teams' own original work and ideas.
The faculty in the Department of Entrepreneurship and Emerging Enterprises works with student teams to enhance their business plans. The Falcone Center offers special sessions with partner accounting and law firms, and occasionally hosts sessions with experts on subjects such as intellectual property and presenting financial presentation. The Falcone Center also is home to a video library of presentations of former business plan competition teams.
Prize money is awarded to the top three teams whose new venture ideas represent the best potential for growth and for attracting outside financing.
2nd Place: $10,000
3rd Place: $5,000
Fetner Prize in Sustainable Enterprise $5,000
