    Do you know of recent students (or others) who have used the Business Model Canvas to describe an established Urban Focused Business?  If so, they can spread their knowledge and win money for doing so by entering the competition below.

    Urban Business Model Search

    Deadline Wednesday, October 12, 11:59 p.m.

    Innovative entrepreneurs all over the world are identifying and serving the needs of urban communities via for-profit businesses such as Uber. Your task, in the Urban Business Model Search, is to find and document these urban-focused businesses using the Business Model Canvas.

    Possibly put some money in your pocket! The Urban Entrepreneurship Institute will recognize, present on its web site, and give awards to the "best" business models they receive.  The "best" entry will receive a cash prize of $500.00.  The second place entry will receive $250.00.  They will select eight additional entries and award a prize of $100.00 each.

    Thanks!

     

    Note: Even if you can't make the deadline we will be adding models on our website throughout the year, so please if you have a business model documented, submit  it anyway.
