    BASES Social-E and E-Challenge Kick-Off
    7:00PM to 8:00PM ~ Fisher Conference Center, Arrillaga Alumni Center
    326 Galvez Street, Stanford, CA 94305

    The Business Association of Stanford Entrepreneurial Students is proud to give you the official kick off of our two prestigious business plan competitions.

    The Social E-Challenge is a business plan competition for entrepreneurial ventures whose primary goal is to effect social and/or environmental change. Participants range from for-profit businesses with a strong sense of social responsibility to nonprofits with sustainable revenue-generation models. The common denominator is that these companies seek to have a positive impact on our society and/or the environment. Check out http://bases.stanford.edu/social-e-challenge/ for more info.

    The Stanford Entrepreneur's Challenge (E-Challenge) is an annual business plan competition conducted with the purpose of developing the next generation of entrepreneurs. It takes place during the winter quarter, and includes several rounds of plan submission and modifications. Check out http://bases.stanford.edu/e-challenge/ for more information.
