Ashley Steiner’s business plan for her company wowed the judges, and she was awarded the top prize in Samford University’s Brock School of Business annual business plan competition.

Steiner competed against two other finalists and was awarded $7,500 seed money to help expand her business, Ashley Ink & Paperie. Steiner is a sophomore prebusiness major from Birmingham.

“I am so excited and blessed to represent Samford as this year’s Regions New Venture Challenge winner,” Steiner said. “Brock School of Business has given me incredible opportunities to grow as a business owner in ways I never could have done on my own. This school year has been the first year for me to ever compete in business competitions.“Presenting Ashley Ink & Paperie in a competition setting has challenged me to step out of my comfort zone to pursue my passions and take my company to the next level,” Steiner said “I am so thankful for Samford, Brock School of Business, Regions Bank and all of my friends and family who have encouraged me through this journey. I can’t wait to see what the future will bring.”
