FME Businesses

Every fall semester, first-year Babson students are given the assignment to develop a business model for a team of thirty individuals. The businesses are scheduled to begin and run throughout the spring semester. Each business then donates their profits to a selected charity. Past students have raised thousands of dollars, and we can only hope for continued success! Once the companies are closed in late April, the business present their story to the Babson Community; staff, family and friends are welcome to attend (schedule).
