Students announced as winners of the spring 2024 term Enterprise Co-op pitch competition
Each term, undergraduate students from the Enterprise Co-op (E Co-op) program compete for financial awards during their opening weeks in the program.
Students compete in a pitch competition for two awards, the E-Launch and the Norman Esch Enterprise Co-op awards each worth $5,000.
The E Co-op program allows students to start their own business while also earning a co-op credit. With access to our world-class faculty, students learn the fundamental elements of building business, begin to understand market sectors and how to build their new products or services. Startups can be high-tech, low-tech or no-tech.
Congratulations to our winners and best of luck to all of our E Co-op students for the upcoming term!
