International Business Model Competition Finals

Public event! Come watch the finalists compete for the $25k grand prize and join world class judges Steve Blank, Alex Osterwalder, Tom Eisenmann, and Nathan Furr for the final event.

The International Business Model Competition is part of a paradigm shift in entrepreneurship that focuses on the process of improving the inputs into entrepreneurship rather than the outputs. Rather than focusing on outputs like business plans or fundraising, this new approach focuses on the key tasks of testing unexamined assumptions in the field and developing validated business models which are manifest through deep customer interaction and understanding. Participation in the IBMC is open to student teams throughout the world. Public event open to all. All students and members of the Boston startup community welcome!
