£100 Challenge attracts record number of entries

CU Entrepreneurs is proud to announce that its £100 Challenge competition has attracted well over 300 business ideas from enterprising members of the University of Cambridge. These ideas are now being judged by 20 senior mentors from the Cambridge business scene, and the results will be announced within two weeks. A big thank you to all who entered!

The next phase of CU Entrepreneurs' 2007-8 competitions is the £1k Challenge, where 10 prizes of £1,000 are available. Entries may be submitted any time between Saturday 10 November and Wednesday 12 December. The £1k Challenge rewards well-presented propositions that show clear market potential and competitive positions. Further details may be found in the Competitions Handbook.


£100 for 100 words!

Would you like to win £100 for 100 words? CU Entrepreneurs has 20 cash prizes of £100 to give away, each for a summary of a business idea of not more than 100 words. The challenge is to condense what you want to say and get all the major points across in a single paragraph.

The £100 Challenge is what you make of it - the very start of something big, or a quick way to pocket £100. Now, you can choose for you entry to go forwards into the UUNI Global Ideas Challenge for the chance to win £20 000!

Ultimately, CU Entrepreneurs is the way to make your ideas happen. Since 1999 we have awarded over £320,000 in grants to 41 business ideas, which are now collectively valued at over £42 million.

We have now extended our deadline by one week to 23:59, Monday 29 October, in light of requests from our members.

Terms and conditions may be found in the Competitions Handbook.

Please submit your idea online: click here.

A note about confidentiality:
A few entrants have been concerned that their ideas will be "stolen" as a result of entering the £100 Challenge. To avoid this, we advise that you submit a public summary describing:

  • the "what" (what role it fills)
  • the "why" (why people will want it)
  • but NOT the "how" (how it works or how someone could duplicate it).

In Phases 1 and 2 of the Challenge, CU Entrepreneurs will take measures to protect the confidentiality of your entries. All judges and entrants will be required to sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement. Failure to comply will lead to prosecution.


£100 Challenge deadline

29 Oct 2007 - 23:59

It's easy: just pitch your business idea to us in 100 words. The challenge here is to condense what you want to say and get all the major points across in just a paragraph. There is no need to give away any private information – a public summary is enough to win the competition. Then, submit your summary online at www.cue.org.uk

You could win one or more of 20 cash prizes of £100. Winners and runners-up get free entry to Phase 1.
