The goAward for excel­lent start-up ideas

The best prepa­ra­tion for an appli­ca­tion is the goWork­shops (Entre­pre­neu­rial Skills, Tools & Advanced). There you learn tools for a solid busi­ness model and develop your project idea further. If you want to apply for the goAward, use the know­ledge and results of the goWork­shops and show us the poten­tial of your idea!

Present your start-up project on a maximum of two DIN A4 pages with this information:

• Project title and name of team members
• Presen­ta­tion of the project/​product/​service (text and visual)
• completed Busi­ness Model Canvas 
• Problem defi­ni­tion and solu­tion (text and visual)

For the appli­ca­tion, you will receive a template to guarantee a consis­tent submission.

You will also have the oppor­tu­nity to present your idea to the jury with a 3‑minute pitch. After­ward, the jury will ask you ques­tions about your project.

The goAward jury selects winners among the appli­cants based on several criteria:

• Product benefit: Added value for the target group, inno­va­tion, problem solu­tion, USP
• Value propo­si­tion: Resource-saving in production/​use
• Market analysis: Compe­ti­tors and demand
• Quality of Busi­ness Model Canvas: Logic, struc­ture and completeness
• Quality of presen­ta­tion: Appearance, struc­ture, use of media/​design

Den Gewinner*innen des goAward winken mehrere attrak­tive Preise, mit denen wir sie auf dem Weg zur Umset­zung ihrer Geschäfts­idee unter­stützen wollen:

1. ein Platz für das ganze Team im in:it co-working lab Schwä­bisch Gmünd für ein Jahr
2. Grün­dungs­coa­chings bei Thomas Schön­weitz

Our jurors are experts in the field of start-ups and busi­ness models.
