ABOUT US

Founded in 1999, the UC Berkeley Business Plan Competition has continued to evolve as a leading Bay Area event and one of the nation's foremost business plan competitions.

The competition gives students, alumni and local entrepreneurs the opportunity to work together to turn innovative ideas into real businesses. The event also brings together the finest research and technology ideas from both UC Berkeley and UC San Francisco.

    Hello BPlan participants -

    My name is Kris Harders, and I am a second year MBA student at Haas. I am currently taking a course in Customer and Business Development in Hi-Tech and am looking for start-ups to work with for a series of assignments related to the course. The projects involve analyzing the customer discovery, validation, and creation efforts in place at a given start-up firm and providing constructive feedback. This would most likely require only a few hours of your time to discuss and will provide you with some useful information to benefit your organization. If interested in some free advice, please contact me at kris_harders@mba.berkeley.edu.

    Thanks!
    Kris
