Become a National Sponsor
Create an experience that matters
The SBSC is a nonprofit in formation to facilitate a 2x annual virtual challenge event and build a small business success ecosystem, by hosting the premier business case competition with real impact for MBAs and business schools across the nation.
Each challenge engages:
200 SMBs / 600 MBA Students / 15 Top Business Schools
The ongoing nature of the SBSC will allow us to track impact over time of our small business participants and tell their stories.
Unique Sponsorship Opportunity
The SBSC offers unique sponsorship of our events due to the duality of the audience we serve, including small business owners nationwide as well as MBA students from the top universities in America.
We’re excited to build upon the success and momentum of the inaugural Small Business School Challenge to share the learnings and expand the impact for small businesses across the nation.
- If your brand is a champion of small business, the SBSC offers a vehicle to support and network with 200 SMBs directly and reach hundreds more once their cases and media are shared across our digital platforms and website.
- If your brand is on the hunt for the best young talent coming out of business schools across America, the SBSC is the chance to network with 600 MBA students and see them in action in real time.
