The Build Your Own Business Project, a part of CMU SIFE, encourages the spirit of entrepreneurship and helps people obtain the knowledge, funding, manpower and other resources necessary to run a business.
This year, we plan to expand our reach to beyond the Carnegie Mellon campus and Pittsburgh community.
BYOB is in its third year, and this year we plan to have an impact on not only the Pittsburgh community, but the entire nation.


Currently, Project Build Your Own Business is planning events for the current semester. Please check back soon for details of upcoming events. In case you have any suggestions, feel free to Contact Us.

Project BYOB held an Idea Competition on December 3rd, 2008. We would like to congratulate Joshua Krezge and Abhinav Gautam for winning the competition with their ideas of RebateRabbit and iCMU respectively. We would also like to thank everyone who took part in the event and helped make it a success. For more details on the event, visit the BYOB Idea Competition page.
