“…a contest designed to identify emerging leaders that have the potential to dominate their markets, and reward them with greatly enhanced visibility, infrastructure and resources to scale quickly at low cost.”
Most start-up competitions target entrepreneurs with an idea, not a product. This contest attracts entrepreneurs with proven execution and who are ready to scale.
Every large company has the potential to be disrupted from below, and every large company in the enterprise is vying for business from these up-and-comers.
