Earlham College Creative Capitalism Competition

Sometimes we just have to brag a little. Over the course of three months, we coached a team of students who had big plans for making an impact on employment and waste management in Ethiopia. Their team leader was a part of our lives for two school years and we were happy to share our strategic planning expertise with his team.

Their journey included many hours of working out the business numbers and preparing for incremental presentations. Along the way, they created a professional level two minute infomercial video and made a mock “Shark Tank” pitch. Three of the team were devoted members of the track team. Did I mention that they were also full time students and none of them business majors? One was also a freshman.

At the final competition, four other teams had great ideas in various stages of implementation. All competitors were passionate about their ideas for saving the world. We just about held our breath for the entire 20 minutes of our team’s presentation.

Please join us in congratulating the Quralew Co-op team on their first place win. They worked hard for it!
