STARTUP WORLD CUP CHAMPIONSHIPS

The International Education Network MINIBOSS BUSINESS SCHOOL annually organizes national and world championships on entrepreneurship - STARTUP NATIONAL CUP and STARTUP WORLD CUP CHAMPIONSHIPS.

Championships are one of the necessary elements of students' preparation, it is an element of MINIBOSS practice and the final part of the MINIBOSS Business Incubator.
 
STARTUP WORLD CUP CHAMPIONSHIPS (SWCCs) have been held since 2000 under the auspices of the MINIBOSS & BIGBOSS BUSINESS SCHOOLS International Educational Network (UK).

Official SWCC website: www.StartupWorldCup.biz

MISSION: global unity and cooperation for the benefit of the world; building global communication bridges and cooperation between the young national elites.

LEAGUES


Students present their startups at the STARTUP WORLD CUP CHAMPIONSHIP in TWO AGE LEAGUES: 
  • MINIBOSS Junior League (children and teenagers 6-17),
  • BIGBOSS Senior league (youth 18+).

CATEGORIES/ NOMINATIONS
The jury assesses startups in two categories:

1. INNOVATIVE ENTREPRENEURSHIP
(SIFE - Startups in innovative free entrepreneurship)

These entrepreneurs start a company knowing from day one that their vision could change the world. Innovators are the types of entrepreneurs who come up with completely new ideas and turn them into viable businesses.

In most cases, these entrepreneurs change the way people think about and do things. Such entrepreneurs tend to be extremely passionate and obsessive, deriving their motivation from the unique nature of their business idea.

Innovative entrepreneurs also find new ways to market their products by choosing product differentiation strategies that make their company stand out from the crowd. Moreover, sometimes it is not just standing out from the crowd but also actually creating a new crowd.

Innovative startups are always commercial (for-profit).

2. SOCIAL ENTREPRENEURSHIP
(SAGE - Startups for the advancement of a global environment).

Social entrepreneurs are innovators who focus on creating products and services that solve social needs and problems. However, unlike scalable startups their goal is to make the world a better place, not to take market share or to create to wealth for the founders. They may be nonprofit, for-profit, or hybrid.

Social startups can be non-profit, commercial (for-profit) or hybrid.
