Burn Your Business Plan!


This is NOT a business plan competition. The International Business Model Competition (BMC) represents a revolution in the entrepreneurial paradigm, rewarding university students for undergoing the process of identifying and validating their assumptions and learning what customers really want rather than what the entrepreneur thinks the customer wants or writing business plans.

Following universities are participating but do not yet have a website:

1.  Win over $30,000 in prizes

2.  Spend your time learning what matters in a startup

3.  No business plan survives first contact with customers
1.  Have a competition that actually prepares students for startups, not creative writing

2.  Easily measured, easily judged

3.  Create viable startups, not plans
