In our efforts to make the event even more beneficial to start-ups and entrepreneurs with ideas we have decided to add a competition with some great prizes to the programme. There will be a option for start-ups and people with a business idea to give a 10 minute pitch to a panel of experienced entrepreneurs.
Based on this pitch the panel will give away prizes that will help the winner in getting their idea/business/venture of the ground. What we need now is entries for this “competition”. There are only a few criteria; your venture cannot be older than 1 year, it cannot have more than 3 employees and it has to be based in Ireland.
If think that you will qualify and would like to enter please send a description of yourself and your venture (no more than one page) to: contactevert@gmail.com Make sure that you cover the following points:
- management team
- business idea
- execution (sales, financial, marketing etc.)
We have managed to get some great prizes together for this competition:
- Regus has donated several prizes including one year virtual office space, a Businessworld Gold membership card and more.
- We have several year-memberships to www.transactions.ie to give away.
- Two Asus EeepC laptops.
- One years hosting on a dedicated Hosting 365 Blade server.
- 500 euro’s worth of website design with Pixelapes.
- A full days’s mentoring, business plan review and coaching by Johnny Beirne.
- Several wireless routers.
