As the fourth-place finisher in the 2001 annual business-plan competition — defeated by the group on the cover of the March 19 issue — and now a successful entrepreneur, I thoroughly enjoyed the spotlight placed on student entrepreneurship at Princeton. During my stay at Princeton, abbreviated by a leave of absence in 2002 to pursue my business interests, I longed for opportunities to challenge my commercial and developmental concepts. The opportunities and life lessons bestowed upon me at Princeton have served every aspect of my entrepreneurial career. I would hope that your article spurs additional interest in the youthful and insightful views Princeton entrepreneurs can offer the business community, and that the Princeton leadership makes this area of growth a focus for the years to come. Keep up the good work, PAW!
