Over the last 16 years, the five John Pappajohn Entrepreneurial Centers have come together to host the statewide Pappajohn Student Entrepreneurial Venture Competition for Iowa university and college students.  Each year, 15 student teams (3 teams from each of the Center’s region) get the opportunity to compete for $5,000 and pitch to John Pappajohn & his staff at Equity Dynamics.  What’s amazing is the level of funding John Pappajohn has given to support student entrepreneurs in the state of Iowa—over $250,000 to date!
