Senior biz whiz wins first place in regional business-plan competition
Whitworth senior Tim Coughlin won the top monetary prize in the 2007-08 Hogan Entrepreneurial Leadership Program Business Plan Competition. Coughlin, a business management and marketing double major, won $10,000 for his company, Buysellfix.com, a repair and refurbishing service for handheld electronics.
"Winning the Hogan competition has resulted in incredible opportunities to grow my business," Coughlin says. "I now have working capital to purchase parts and inventory, upgrade my website, and finally get a decent business card made. Local publicity has also resulted in a lot more repair work coming in."
Gonzaga University presents the annual Hogan competition in collaboration with Whitworth's School of Global Commerce & Management and Eastern Washington University's Center for Entrepreneurial Activities. The event is open to graduate and undergraduate students from Whitworth, Gonzaga, EWU
