Andrew Youn, Kellogg School of Management class of 2006, sweats through two years of MBA full-time studies attempting to create a new entrepreneurial venture that addresses one of the world’s most timeless and intractable problems—hunger in Africa. The case challenges current MBAs to consider the enormous effort it takes to put together all aspects of a new venture. Youn’s experience becomes an extraordinary example in terms of his high-quality business plan, his ability to pull at heart strings, and his humility.
The learning objective of the case is for MBA students to learn what constitutes a top-quality business plan and presentation, as well as to work through the multiple challenges in creating a viable venture.
