Participants Guide:
An Entrepreneur’s Instruction Book for Starting a New Business
As a Participant in the EnterPrize Business Plan Competition, you’ll receive a manual that details the contents, scope and structure of a business plan along with the expectations investors have when reading one. It also contains essential information on the competition and provides valuable pointers on starting a company.
Here’s just a sampling of what you’ll learn about a quality business plan:
Executive Summary
The executive summary is an independent element of the business plan that investors look at first. The summary isn’t intended to make them invest in your project, but it can convince them not to if critical elements aren’t covered. You’ll be given details on how to include these key elements that answer any potential investors questions.
Business System and Organization
The business system model maps out necessary activities that prepare and deliver a final product to a customer. When you participate, you’ll learn that devising a business system is the best way to understand a company’s business activities.
Market and Competition
Knowing your market and competition is essential to success. As an EnterPrize participant, you’ll learn where to obtain data that helps you make well-founded conclusions and sound estimates that support your market hypotheses. Additionally, you’ll get information on market segmentation that enables you to reach your appropriate customers.
Marketing and Sales
A well-conceived business concept includes a well-planned marketing and sales strategy. EnterPrize provides you with a skeleton framework of “The Four Ps” — product, price, placement and promotion — with information on customer needs, penetration and skimming strategies, distribution channel advice and communications pointers.
Financial Planning and Financing
Financial planning helps you evaluate your business concept’s profitability and financing opportunities. The Participants Guide contains sample tables that explain how to conduct liquidity planning, develop income statements and create balance sheets.

KFMR Katz Ferraro McMurtry, P.C.
Since 1989, KFMR Katz Ferraro McMurtry, P.C. has worked with technology, life science, and early-stage companies in providing accounting, tax and consulting services from start-up through growth. In fact, KFMR worked with the first technology transfer company from CMU from its inception in 1989 until it was sold in 1994. Through our experience, we have learned that as much as these companies share common opportunities and challenges, they are equally distinct with their own unique characteristics - making it difficult, if not impossible, to compare or benchmark companies with one another. As a result of our work with numerous early-stage companies, we’ve experienced and mastered the common matters, while having the vision and prowess to navigate the uncharted waters, seeing companies through to the profitable stage and beyond.
With a seasoned, highly credentialed and diversified talent base, we are able to provide a broad scope of services such as audit and accounting services; budgeting, forecasts and projections; due diligence; strategic tax planning and compliance services; strategic business planning; accounting software systems; assistance with debt and equity financing; financial system design and implementation; business valuation services; general business consulting; transaction advisory services; and CFO/Controller services.
In addition to our knowledge, ability and resources, our clients know us for the responsiveness and care we demonstrate – not just in the engagements that we perform – but in the relationships which we establish. Our objective is to learn and understand the issues that affect your business so that we can assist with your needs as well as look beyond the books to help you improve your overall business and financial position.

Frequently Asked Questions
Find Your Way Through The Crowd
Q: How long is the competition?

Q: How do I enter the competition?
A: Go to Registration to download an application. Eligibility will be determined based on the information in Part Four of your application.
Q: When should I enter the competition?
A: While you may enter the competition at any time, we recommend that you enter early to take advantage of all of the workshops and resources that EnterPrize has to offer.
Q: How do I know if I am eligible to compete?
A: If you are a technology entrepreneur with a good idea that you want to build into a high-growth business, you should compete in the EnterPrize Business Plan Competition.
Q: Can I participate with more than one plan?
A: We strongly recommend that you participate with only one plan. You should keep in mind that winning plans are well developed and thoroughly prepared to take to market. However, we do allow multiple plans to be submitted as long as each plan is registered as a separate participating team.
Q: Can I participate if I don't have a business idea?
A: Sure you can! Sometimes the best business ideas come from interacting with other entrepreneurs. You may register to attend individual EnterPrize workshops that suit your needs.
Q: Is my idea legally protected during EnterPrize?
A: As employees of the Pittsburgh Technology Council, EnterPrize staff members are bound by the Council's confidentiality agreements. Some judges and coaches sign non-disclosure agreements prior to the competition, but the majority of them will not because it inhibits their ability to invest in a variety of businesses and can create false expectations for entrepreneurs. Keep in mind that the significant damage to a professional reputation that results from abusing the privilege of reading your plan is the primary reason judges and coaches do not discuss plans outside of our proceedings. The best protection of your intellectual property is speed to market, and we encourage you to bring your ideas to market at the earliest opportunity to ensure success in your business.
Q: What are the submission deadlines, and how do I submit?
A: Phase I Plans Due: Monday, March 17

If hard copies must be submitted, three unbound copies of the business plan and six unbound copies of the executive summary must be delivered to the Council offices by the above stated deadlines.
Q: Do you have examples of good business plans?
A: There is a sample business plan in the Participants Guide, which you receive after entering the competition.
Q: Who are the coaches, and how do I reach them?
A: Coaches are experienced entrepreneurs who volunteer their time to help competitors through the business planning process. The EnterPrize staff assigns coaches during Phase II of the competition, and you will be given their contact information at that time.
Q: Who are the judges?
A: Judges are professional investors or individuals who have founded companies themselves. A panel of judges evaluates all submitted plans.
Q: What are the judging criteria?
A: The EnterPrize Business Plan Competition Participant Guide includes detailed information on the judging criteria for each phase's submission. In general, competitors in the new business category are judged on the quality of their business ideas and potential for growth. Existing businesses are judged on the strength of their business models and evidence of high-growth strategies.

A: To compete in EnterPrize, all participating teams must include one or more residents or current full-time students of southwestern Pennsylvania, which is Allegheny, Armstrong, Beaver, Bedford, Butler, Cambria, Fayette, Greene, Indiana, Lawrence, Somerset, Washington and Westmoreland counties.
