Online entrepreneurship competition
Start: 30 October 2023
In this phase of the competition, entrepreneurs launch their ventures and develop their business plans. Specific questions will guide them through an iterative process of elaborating and refining the plan. Ventures will proceed through four virtual capital rounds, in accordance with the process start-ups go through in reality. If entrepreneurs feel they need some help, they can always ask others (talents) to join their team. Talents themselves can also apply to join and co-develop a venture.
In the first three capital rounds, investors scan the different business plans, give the teams constructive feedback, and reward good ideas with virtual investments. And as of round 2, experienced advisors will join the competition to guide the teams, and provide valuable feedback.
