ABOUT US

Founded in 1999, the UC Berkeley Business Plan Competition has continued to evolve as a leading Bay Area event and one of the nation's foremost business plan competitions.

    Hello BPlan participants -

    My name is Kris Harders, and I am a second year MBA student at Haas. I am currently taking a course in Customer and Business Development in Hi-Tech and am looking for start-ups to work with for a series of assignments related to the course. The projects involve analyzing the customer discovery, validation, and creation efforts in place at a given start-up firm and providing constructive feedback. This would most likely require only a few hours of your time to discuss and will provide you with some useful information to benefit your organization. If interested in some free advice, please contact me at kris_harders@mba.berkeley.edu.

    Thanks!
    Kris
