A business plan competition to be held in London promises to help all participants, not just the winner.
A London-held business plan competition will provide entrepreneurs with the chance to get expert advice and make invaluable contacts whether they win or not.
TiEger’s Den, which is organized by TiE UK, won’t be the humiliating experience it is for so many of the participants of the hit BBC show with a similar name, Dragon’s Den, where people often get their business proposals torn apart on television.
A panel of experienced entrepreneurs from the TiE UK membership will cast their eye over contestants’ business plans and offer constructive advice and on-going mentoring to all participants.
Four entrepreneurs will have a maximum of five minutes to present their business plan, which will be followed by a Q&A session with the panel lasting no longer than 10 minutes.
Last year’s winner, Mathew Mazhuvanchery of ONSI Infrastructure, found the experience invaluable to his emerging business.
“I got great advice on how I should take ONSI forward” he says. “It’s worth its weight in gold.”
The TiEger’s Den Business Plan Competition takes place on 5 July at the London offices of competition sponsors Simmons & Simmons. The address is Citypoint, One Ropemaker Street, London, EC2Y 9SS.
If you wish to be considered for this event please send your business plan to Fionuala Pender, TiE UK Executive Director at fpender@tie-uk.org no later than 16 June.
TiE UK is part of a not-for-profit global network of entrepreneurs and professionals, and holds frequent networking events, seminars, and workshops as well as offering a mentoring programme for emerging entrepreneurs.
