      Ecommerce Business Owner

      Created a small business focused on providing in-game value to players. My business is mostly aimed at the consumers who play Animal Crossing New Horizons and Pokemon Scarlet/Violet. Creating my first business taught me the skills needed to succeed in a competitive environment, and the resilience to move forward despite setbacks.

Together, we used a variety of investment analysis techniques to analyze the best possible stock investments. Because our portfolio is a value fund we are required to be more conservative with our investments. Even with these restrictions the fund grew 17% in 2023, and we are projected for even stronger growth in 2024.

This competition is an organization of the most competitive business universities in the world which were carefully chosen through a first round selection stage. I was the financial analyst of my team, and I was expected to dissect financial information from a case; calculate information like NPV, IRR, CAGR, ROI, Projected Cash Flows, Profit Margin, Revenue Segments, Financial Ratios, and Net Income; create a possible funding strategy for a created alternative; create financial models on PowerPoint that can convey the data; and present this information to a panel of judges who are industry professionals. The preparation period lasted 3-4 hours, while the presentation could only last a maximum of 15-20 minutes (depending on the case). In this competition I learned to become a better team player, and I was able to sharpen my finance and presentation skills. Show less
