RALEIGH, N.C. – "It’s nice to see those who laughed at us when we told them of our aspirations." It’s a simple tale of a group of guys with a vision of where they want to be and a plan to get them there. Frater Matthew Laster (Beta-Beta, North Carolina State Univ.), Bryan Young, and Brandon Blair co-founded Business Empire Consulting. They are now up for the prestigious honor of Businessweek’s America’s Best Young Entrepreneur award, but need votes by October 20 to earn the coveted distinction.
