WELLESLEY, Mass., Feb. 6, 2014 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Seventy-seven Babson College startups are competing to win more than $30,000 in Startup Rounds, a new kind of business competition launched by The Babson Entrepreneurship Club (BEC).
Startup Rounds is open to any company founded by Babson undergraduates, graduate students or alumni with less than $1 million in earned revenues. Visit http://www.startuprounds.com/
BEC Co-President Paul Hammond sees Startup Rounds as a fun way to showcase the depth and breadth of Babson's entrepreneurial enterprises, while offering startup founders the opportunity to:
- Gain exposure
- Establish credibility
- Prove a concept
- Refine a pitch
- Find customers
- Raise a seed round
"This is a great way for Babson startups to show off their stuff and gain traction," said Hammond.
How It Works: Complete contest rules and Babson businesses profiles »
- The contest consists of four 7-day rounds.
- Within each round, startups must demonstrate the strengths of their business idea and network by gaining support via social media to improve their standing on the leaderboard. Anybody with a Facebook account can vote for up to three startups per round.
- After each round, a startup's score resets along with their position on the leaderboard.
- Each round will have a cutline. For example, if there are 50 startups, 10 will be eliminated in each round.
- The top 10 startups will be invited to pitch to an expert judge panel followed by an awards ceremony on Feb. 27, 2014 at The Microsoft New England Research & Development (NERD) Center.
- Over $30,000 in prizes will be awarded, including $20,000 in cash and $10,000 in legal resources (Pepper Hamilton and Pierce Atwood); real-estate consultation (VP of Colliers International, Boston); BostInno press and MassChallenge opportunities; and meetings with Rough Draft Ventures, offering the opportunity to raise up to $25,000.
