The CATALYST Case Challenge is a new social entrepreneurship case competition that the CGU-Drucker Net Impact chapter has co-developed with LA+Acumen, an organization working with social entrepreneurs who create solutions to help eradicate poverty in developing countries. The CATALYST Case Challenge is open to undergraduate and graduate students from all schools in Southern California!

Teams of three-four people are invited to signup, anyone is welcome to compete. Two preparatory workshops in March and April will prepare teams for the challenge. The workshops will verse students in design thinking, as well as measuring social impact. We will also provide a practice case. At the end of the second workshop the case, based on a live social enterprise, will be released. On April 18th the final competition day will be held at Drucker School of Management, where teams will pitch their proposals for a panel of judges. The winning team will be awarded a cash prize, and a networking mixer will conclude the series of events.
