The pair placed first in the New Venture Competition that was open to members of the Queen’s EMBA and Cornell-Queen’s EMBA programs. Their winning venture is now up and running, thanks in part to the $10,000 prize awarded by judges from the Kingston business community and sponsored by the Queen’s Centre for Business Venturing.

Their company, called School Ready Supplies, specializes in producing pre-packaged school supplies for elementary school students and for use by student councils for fundraising.
