WHAT IS THE VENTURE?
The Venture is a global search to find and support the most promising startups with the potential to succeed financially and make a positive impact on the lives of others.
The most promising startups - one from each country participating in The Venture - will make it to the global final and have a chance to win a share of $1 million in funding.
WHO CAN APPLY FOR THE VENTURE?
We are looking for social entrepreneurs who have a registered, for-profit startup or business. We are searching for businesses in seed stage (which means the product is still in prototype stage and the business is not yet generating revenue from customers or users yet), startup stage (which means the business has a working prototype of its concept, ideally with some demonstrable user traction, generating a maximum of US $500,000 - or local currency equivalent - in annual revenues and has been incorporated for no more than three years) or growth stage (which means the business is beyond the working prototype stage, and can show significant user traction and sales, generating a maximum of US $1 million - or local currency equivalent - in annual revenues and has been incorporated for more than three years).
You will have a strong vision, a compelling idea and a solid business plan. You'll also need to showcase how your business has a positive impact and articulate how funding would help to take your business to the next level. You must be over 25 to enter The Venture.
Make sure you check out your local Terms & Conditions should you choose to apply for further eligibility requirements.
