Freeman hosts IDEAcorps Challenge '09
Graduate students from some of the nation's top business schools and working professionals from Google and salfesforce.com visited the Freeman School from March 21-28 to participate in the IDEAcorps Challenge '09.
The Challenge, a program of local entrepreneurial consulting firm the Idea Village, connects MBA students with New Orleans entrepreneurs in need of assistance. Six local businesses--Feelgoodz, Naked Pizza, Don Kelly Productions, Alternative Housing Support Corp., Sustainable Environmental Enterprises, and InSites(s)--benefited from an intensive week of business consulting with the goal of helping the ventures grow quickly.
