By Blake.Dowson @iowastatedaily.com

College students across the state are preparing themselves for the opportunity of a lifetime through John Pappajohn and his company Equity Dynamics Incorporated. The Pappajohn New Venture Student Business Plan Competition gives students from Iowa State, the University of Iowa, the University of Northern Iowa, Drake University and the Northern Iowa Area Community College an opportunity to present a business plan for a chance to win $5,000 in start-up finances. “The competition offers both encouragement and a cash incentive to support students who have a business idea. The competition provides the op- portunity for a student to test their business idea on paper and receive valuable feedback,” said Judi Eyles, representa- tive for the Pappajohn Center for Entrepreneurship at Iowa State. “The $5,000 cash prizes, not to mention the opportunity to pitch your idea to a man like John Pappajohn serves as a pret- ty nice motivation to compete.” Lynn Allendorf, represen- tative at the John Pappajohn Entrepreneurial Center at the Yanhua Huang/Iowa State Daily University of Iowa, said the com- Judi Eyles, program coordinator in the ISU Pappajohn Center for Entrepreneurship, talks with Jared Beymer, junior in pre-business, about his business petition gives students a chance plan presentation as part of the Pappajohn New Venture Student Business Plan Competition.
