Wouldn’t it be great to have investment value for your company that is free and clear of equity or loan obligations, or future procurement commitments? Well, here is your chance.
You’re not too late to win a prize worth €40,000 for your startup in the bitcrowd CampChamp 2012 – the pitching competition at the upcoming Startup Camp Berlin 2012.
But you’ll need to be quick, as the deadline for applications is this Wednesday, March 7. The best ten entrants will be invited to pitch their idea to the bitcrowd CampChamp 2012 jury on Friday March 16 during the event at the MediaDesign HochSchule in Kreuzberg.
Does your startup concept meet these criteria?
1. Innovativeness: be original – no one needs another Facebook clone.
2. Market feasibility: who will pay to use your product or service?
3. Technical feasibility: can it be developed in 40 days?
4. Financial feasibility: it’s attractive, it’s technically feasible – but will it pay off?
Submit your idea and you’ll be in with the chance to win 40 days of development time for your prototype or minimum viable product by agile software agency bitcrowd as well as 16 hours of first-class legal advice by the Berlin-based legal firm Lindenpartners and office space for three people for six months at Humboldt Innovation, the technology transfer office of Humboldt University.
All you need to do to apply is fill in a short form and come up with a video pitch lasting 30-60 seconds, so get cracking!
