The Venture is giving out a $1Million fund to empower extraordinary start-ups that use business to create positive change and a mission to inspire entrepreneurial thinkers to transform the world.
Eligibility Criteria for The Venture Competition for Startups
They are looking for exceptional start-ups
that use business innovatively to transform communities and solve global
challenges. Whatever it is, if it’s brilliant and can create real,
positive change then they want to hear from you.
Get Selected for The Venture Competition for Startups
Each application will be reviewed and the very
best from each of the participating countries will be selected to take
part in local finals. You’ll have the chance to pitch to a panel of
business experts who will offer advice and decide which finalist has the
most promise to continue to the global finals.
Learn and Grow
If you are successful at the local final, you
will head to The Venture’s Accelerator Week for a week of motivation,
inspiration and mentorship from some of the world’s foremost businesses
and entrepreneurial minds.
Inspire the Public
After the Accelerator Week, you will have the
chance to inspire the public and receive funding. Over the course of
five weeks, we’ll allocate $250,000 of the $1Million fund by giving
people the chance to vote for their favourite start-up.
The Venture Final Pitch
At an exclusive event in front of a live
audience of influencers and change makers, you will have the opportunity
to pitch your business to The Venture’s esteemed global judging panel,
who will decide where the remaining share of the $1Million fund will be
awarded.
