Deadline: 20-Dec-20
Because International is seeking applications for the 2021 Social Innovation Competition – an opportunity for entrepreneurs to develop their idea and connect with an entrepreneurial network.
The competition’s goal is “to provide aspiring entrepreneurs with tangible resources that turn their ideas into a reality in ways that make a positive difference in the world.”
They are looking for innovative people (also students) to submit an idea for a product that helps solve a social challenge in the world. Once submitted, participants are eligible for a chance to win seed money ($1,000) and a spot in Because International’s Pursuit Incubator!
Also, even if the ideas are in the brainstorming phase, we encourage people to apply. They’re even accepting applications where the designs are drawn on the back of a napkin and turned in– the stage you’re in matters less than the idea. The point is we want this to be a low-effort and low-cost experience for those innovators just willing to test out some of their ideas in this space!
