It has been said that small industry serves as the backbone of the American economy. In this project, students will study the instrumental role of small businesses on the economy, analyze the impact of unemployment, and design a small business to address a niche for an identified population.

Similar to the TV series "Shark Tank," the culminating project consists of students going into the “Guppy Tank” where their niche business proposal will be evaluated by fellow student entrepreneurs.
