\"Theres-also-prize-money-involved\"<\/a>A recent Wall Street Journal<\/em> article<\/a> discusses the difficult mission of finding the right b-school for entrepreneurs. It lists the different rankings sites and the variety of results they offer for top entrepreneur-focused b-school programs: Businessweek<\/em> puts Stanford<\/a> at the top of the list; Entrepreneur<\/em> magazine gives top marks to Michigan Ross<\/a>; and Poets & Quants<\/em> gives Harvard Business School<\/a> the #1 spot.<\/p>\n

The article also points out how different schools showcase their entrepreneurial strengths<\/a> in different ways: Stanford touts the most startups per student as well as its access to investors; HBS highlights that its student ventures attracted the most funding; and Booth<\/a> measures its start-up success by the number of ventures purchased or merged. Other programs emphasize their efforts to mix with other school departments, like Penn<\/a> with its entrepreneur and engineering\/computer science programs and CMU Tepper<\/a> with its business\/computer science co-led Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship.<\/p>\n

Focus on Chicago Booth<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

In the last year, at least eight Chicago Booth<\/a> student ventures acquired or merged, in part due to the school\u2019s New Venture Challenge \u2013 a program in which students present business plans (about 100 total) from which investors choose the top 30. The selected students then enroll in a course that helps them prepare their plans for investor pitches. There\u2019s also prize money involved \u2013 about $200,000 to split among the 30 winners.<\/p>\n
