Motivated to go the extra mile and build a successful venture
In order to stimulate new entrepreneurship Gulliver organises an annual competition among young entrepreneurs in Leiden. We believe that the three most important factors for the success of a new enterprise are speaking to the right people, gathering and processing valuable feedback and attracting the right amount of funding. By joining the competition as a young entrepreneur you get access to a vast network, organised and ad-hoc feedback and the possibility to win €10.000,- to develop your new enterprise.
Set Goals
“By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail” is a famous quote by Benjamin Franklin. At Gulliver we believe that setting goals is important and therefore participating in the Gulliver competition starts with setting your personal goals for your enterprise.
Build Enterprise
The three most important factors for building your new enterprise are speaking to the right people, gathering the right feedback and attracting the right amount of funding. During the second phase of the competition we help you to do exactly that. Gulliver is not a school where we learn you how to build your enterprise, but Gulliver is your gateway to all the information, network and resources you need.
Win €10.000,-
Money is an important resource often missing in start-ups. Gulliver therefore grants the most promising new enterprise of the year a cash grand prize of €10.000,-! Gulliver is about progress, joining the competition early on and building your enterprise with the use of our network therefore ensures that the judges can see your progress and will improve your chances of winning the grand prize.
