Eleven teams competed in the semi-final round of the Baker Business Bowl IX on Thursday, Nov. 3. Business ideas ranged from hockey gear, bait casters, delivery drones and more. By the end of the day, only five teams advanced to the final round.

“No matter what struggles I faced or what adversity came my way, The Citadel has taught me how to put one foot in front of the other and carry on. A common phrase on campus cadets say is “Embrace the suck” and this is something I have certainly felt on some of those tougher days,” said Jeremy Anyim.

Paul Meeks is a professor of practice in the Tommy and Victoria Baker School of Business who also supervises the Student Managed Investment Fund.

The 20 teams will present their ideas during the semifinal round on Friday before 10 teams move on to the final pitch competition round on Saturday.

Members of the winning team are looking forward to representing The Citadel in the first ever SoCon Entrepreneurship Challenge next week.
