I spoke to more investors and business owners than most of the winners and I was given the opportunity to present my pitch in private to a few of the investors at the event.<br /><br />I will be at your next university pitch and can't wait for the feedback and rewards that is at the end of this uphill battle called the entrepreneurs road. <br /><br />Thank you Charles for providing some of the feedback and information at the event.

My questions is, " should entrepreneurship be driven by competitions or real support?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06249395423777924054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8412125546135385248.post-81059499641377661222013-05-13T10:11:31.187-07:002013-05-13T10:11:31.187-07:00As one of the winners of the above-mentioned entre...As one of the winners of the above-mentioned entrepreneurship competition, I would like to share my experience and some thoughts on this topic. From the 1000 entrants, 54 individuals were selected to do a pitch-fire (1 minute pitch). 10 ideas were selected by the participants themselves, and the "losers" were given the option to form teams around the 10 chosen ideas. <br /><br />I was fortunate enough to have attracted 4 extremely talented and creative individuals from those whose ideas had not been voted for. And let me tell you that I am grateful beyond measure. My idea came second in the competition on the backs of these individuals. And all of them have agreed to come with me to the next chapter of my idea. Now, we all share the prize and pool our skills.<br /><br />You might ask, "What happens to their ideas? Do they abandon those?" No. There is no need for that. As far as I am concerned, they have gone from potential entrepreneurs to definite intrepreneurs. My opportunity is their opportunity. Their growth is my growth. <br /><br /><br /> <br /><br /><br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18037620032462028206noreply@blogger.com
