PAPPAJOHN CENTER
FOR ENTREPRENEURSHIP www.isupjcenter.org
Iowa State was one of the first institutions to offer an interdisciplinary Minor in Entrepreneurial Studies. Today, the minor draws a record number of students, with the introductory course serving more than 300 students each year.
In its third year, the Entrepreneurship & Innovation Learning Community provides a unique residential learning experience to 30 students annually from across campus who have an interest in entrepreneurship. In 2007, the students will open its first student-run business, The Barista Café.
Two of the Center’s Business Development clients were awarded the top two spots, winning $25,000 and $15,000 each respectively, in the first annual Pappajohn Iowa Business Plan Competition, from among more than eighty competitors on a statewide basis. The Center provided significant assistance both in contributing to the strategies and market research contained within those plans, as well as in format and content.
The Center for Entrepreneurship is one of four gateways in the state to early stage funding from the Wellmark Venture Fund. The ISU Pappajohn Center led an effort to revamp the convertible debt terms in order to make the program more attractive to borrowers. Interest in the program has increased, and in the past six months the Center has placed $300,000 of financing to early stage Ames-area technology companies.
IOWA SMALL BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT
CENTERS (SBDC) www.iowasbdc.org Iowa is home to approximately 100,000 small businesses. Many of the businesses are owned by people nearing retirement age and many do not have a succession plan for their business. To address this challenge, the Iowa Small Business Development Centers are leading a Business Succession program that will educate Iowa's small business owners on the importance of good succession planning and offer resources to help owners successfully transfer their businesses. We also intend to develop a matching mechanism for business sellers and buyers so they can more easily find each other. |
