Design Entrepreneurs NYC

An initiative by the Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT) and NYCEDC, Design Entrepreneurs NYC is a free, intensive "mini-MBA" program that equips select fashion designers with the skills they need to successfully run a fashion label, including marketing, operations, and financial management. Participants who successfully complete the Design Entrepreneurs NYC program will have the opportunity to present their business plans to and receive feedback from a panel of influential industry leaders. Design Entrepreneurs NYC will award the winning and second place business plans with $25,000 and $10,000 in funding respectively.
