The 5th Annual Small Business BC business plan competition just concluded. It sounds like the event was a huge success this year with over 170 qualified applicants, great finalists, and a great winning business plan. Danita Harty, over at fundfindr.tv, wrote a nice post about the event. fundfinder.tv is also featuring a video overview of the event that includes interviews with the judges and participants – I especially like the bit that starts at about 4:36. (Video no longer available.)

Winner: James Shearer from Peragro Media Inc.
