Rich Honen
Phillips Lytle LLP

“Participating in a business plan competition forces young entrepreneurs to think critically about virtually every aspect of their company. The value of their technology, their target market and its size, competitors, key milestones, the needs and/or strength of individual contributors within their business, and their financial projections. The team at Upstate Capital helps fosters a healthy growth ecosystem for start-ups, bringing together different, yet strategic communities of influencers who work together to promote entrepreneurship via the New York Business Plan Competition, positioning them to emerge stronger and more prepared to be successful.”
