撰写商业计划书？不简单但也不是太难。向真正的投资人推销你的创业点子？这才是终极考验！前阵子，高中部商业与金融-应用学习课（Applied Learning Business & Finance）的学生们迎来了一场真实的创业演练——协和邀请到了棕榈资本创始人李厚明女士，作为嘉宾评委，参与了协和一年一度的创业挑战赛！

比赛一开始，各小组就展开了“电梯游说”式的快速演讲，每组只有60秒的时间来吸引评委对他们的商业理念产生兴趣。但这只是热身！随后，同学们深入展开他们的创业项目展示，包括竞品分析、财务预测、营销计划、组织架构，甚至制定了资产负债表和现金流报表。他们的终极目标？在模拟的A轮融资环境中，赢得虚拟风投资金。

作为评委，李厚明女士毫无保留分享了她在风险投资和创业领域积累的宝贵经验，还建议同学们将人工智能融入他们的项目中，把握人工智能技术的未来趋势。

这场挑战赛背后，商业与金融应用学习班的同学们花了两个月的时间进行了市场调研、制定财务预测，并利用设计思维框架反复打磨他们的提案演讲。整个过程中，他们展现出了十足的创造力，从每一次困难和挑战中不断学习、不断成长。

协和采访了几位参与的同学，听他们讲述这场创业启蒙之旅的收获：

“创建自己的公司这个过程太酷了，集合了创意构思、设计、金融、营销和销售的全过程！这次比赛后，我开始思考将创业作为我未来职业规划的一部分。” — Amy W., 12年级

“创业挑战赛是一次将创意转化为实际行动的沉浸式体验。小组成员之间要紧密合作，从概念到落地，打造一家初创企业。从营销策略到财务建模，每一个环节都突显了创造力和统计学相结合的重要性。” — Abriel H., 11年级

“两个月前，我还觉得从零开始创业几乎是一件不可能的任务。现在看来，尽管我们小组提出的商业模式还没有成熟到能够真正落地，但是，我们在不断探索和调整的过程中所收获的经验，才是真正宝贵的东西。” — Rulin H., 12年级

“直面真实的投资人，那一刻我超级紧张，但这也是一次绝佳的机会，让我可以分享自己真正喜欢并想要表达的创意想法。” — Fiona Z., 12年级

“看到同学们在创业挑战赛中，将自己的想法转化为切实可行的商业概念，我着实感到欣慰。” 高中社会科学老师、商业与金融-应用学习课程创始人Mr. Steven Sgourdos评价道。他说：“这不仅仅是让同学们打造一家初创企业，更在于培养创业家的思维方式——将每一次困难都当作成长的机会，激发每一个想法的潜力，让它成为有影响力的存在。”

Crafting a business plan? Challenging but doable. Pitching your startup idea to an actual investor? Now that’s the real test! A while back, Concordia Applied Learning Business & Finance students got a front-row seat to professional entrepreneurship when Palm Capital founder Ms. Houming Li joined as guest judge for their annual Entrepreneurship Challenge.

The excitement kicked off with rapid-fire “elevator pitches” – each team had just 60 seconds to hook the panel with their business concept. But that was just the warm-up! Students then dove deep into full venture presentations complete with competitor analysis, financial projections, marketing plan, organizational structure, and even balance sheet and cash flow statement. Their mission? To secure mock Series A funding in a simulated VC (venture capital) environment.

Ms. Li didn’t hold back on professional wisdom, sharing hard-earned insights from her VC career while suggesting students “futureproofing” their ideas through AI integration.

Behind the scenes, our AL BF students spent two months conducting market research, crafting financial projections, and refining their pitches using the Design Thinking framework. They embraced the journey of innovation with creativity, resilience, and a willingness to learn from every challenge.

Concordia caught up with participants to hear how this crash course in entrepreneurship shaped their perspectives:

“Creating our own company was super fun - the whole experience was the perfect blend of creative ideation, design, finance, marketing, and sales. After this project, I’m seriously considering entrepreneurship as part of my future career.” — Amy W., G12

“The Entrepreneurship Challenge was an immersive experience of turning ideas into action - collaborating with group members to breathe life into a startup from concept to launch. Navigating every facet, from marketing to financial modeling, revealed the necessity for creativity and statistics to work together.” — Abriel H., G11

“Two months ago, building a startup from scratch felt impossible. Today, while our business model remains a pitch on paper, the real value lies in what we learned through constant ideation and adaptation.” — Rulin H., G12

“Although presenting to real investors was a nerve-wracking experience, it was an amazing opportunity to present ideas that I was genuinely passionate about and excited to share.” — Fiona Z., G12

“Watching my students transform their ideas into tangible business concepts during the Entrepreneurship Challenge has been nothing short of inspiring,” comments Mr. Steven Sgourdos, high school Social Science teacher and founder of the AL BF course. He adds, “This experience isn’t just about building a startup; it’s aboutdeveloping the mindset of an entrepreneur- where every obstacle is an opportunity to grow and every idea has the potential to become something impactful.”
