Yesterday I took pictures at 'Fontys Best Business', an event at my old school: Fontys University (Fontys Hogeschool Marketing Management) in Eindhoven. This event was a competition between first-year students of the tracks 'commercial economics' and 'small business and retail management' and was based on the television programme 'Dragons' Den'. Student groups pitched their businessplan in front of a jury (dragons). These businesspeople represented banks, financiers and accountants.
At the end of the day, the best teams had to pitch their businessplan to the whole audience. The winning team was a group with an idea for Blackberry. They won 1.000 euro cash!
The event also raised money for the Serious Request cause which is now being held in the citycenter of Eindhoven with a project called the Glass House (Glazen Huis).
I really had fun yesterday and I was surprised by the level of the students' pitches. Pictures of the event can be found on my website, click here.
