Share This Two Quinnipiac entrepreneurship students took home cash prizes at the Connecticut State Business Plan and Elevator Pitch Contest on April 23.
Glenn Dunne, of Dublin, Ireland, earned the $3,000 top prize in the Venture Enterprise Competition for Flexifabrics, LLC, which sells high-end marine products at an affordable cost. To meet the criteria for success in the venture enterprise division, participants had to present business model proposals that are scalable, capital intensive and have a large market.
“It was a huge honor to win the competition,” Dunne said. “It was amazing to be involved in such a diverse and competitive event with some of the best entrepreneurs in Connecticut. I am grateful to my professor, Dale Jasinski, who assisted me in getting this far in the competition.
