    Folks:

    The William James Foundation Socially Responsible Business Plan Competition provides feedback (to all qualified entrants) and resources (if you do well in the competition) to mission-driven for-profit startups. You do not need to be a current student or affiliated with a specific school.

    We are accepting executive summaries (3-5 pages) until December 12th, 2008. Details on feedback and prizes at: http://younoodle.com/groups/william_james_foundation_comp...

    or ping me at ian.fisk@williamjamesfoundation.org with questions.
