What it is

What is the Business chapter?

Pitch competitions, real clients, and founders who tell you how it actually went — the LEAP Business chapter is where you stop reading about business and start running one.

Student-runLed by student officers — a president, vice president, treasurer, secretary, social media manager, and outreach coordinator.
Local teamsChapter teams in Frisco, Prosper, and Plano, each running its own events and service projects.
100% freeNo dues and no experience needed — just interest in the field.
The four pillars

What members actually get.

Every LEAP chapter runs on the same four pillars — here's what they look like in Business.

Peer mentors

An older student in the chapter mentors you through business basics and your own project ideas.

Business professional mentors

Get paired with a working business professional for ongoing guidance.

College students & grads

Current business students and recent grads share the honest, in-progress version of the path.

Partner organizations

LEAP partners with outside organizations to widen the pool of mentors available to members.

Pitch competition

Compete with real prizes and real judges — DECA-style, but cross-field.

Case competitions

Solve live business cases in teams under time pressure.

Talk business & network

Casual conversations with people working in business — low-pressure, high-value.

Business fair

Members and local businesses connect, sponsor, and showcase what they're building.

Shark Tank night

Pitch your own venture idea to a panel, Shark-Tank-style.

Social media marketing

Run social media campaigns for local businesses or nonprofits — verified hours.

Financial literacy workshops

Teach budgeting and money basics to teens and families in the community.

Small-business consulting
