Overview
One of the key activities under Startup Lahore, is Startup Rumble, a platform which will allow entrepreneurs to submit a business idea online in 350 words with a short description of their team. All this information will be available for public viewing and scrutiny. A voting system will be in place to make the platform more interactive and to maximize its reach to the public. The forum on the website will allow people to interact with each other and comment on different ideas. By doing so, founders can tweak their business ideas accordingly.
Selection Process
The finalists will be chosen based on the highest number of votes, commercial viability of their business idea and the strength of their team. The selected teams will be invited to Lahore where they will be expected to present their ideas as well as a detailed business plan in front of a jury and a large audience. The top teams will then be selected for the prize money. The winners of Startup Rumble will also be given the opportunity to be accelerated at the PlanX accelerator (depending on the startup stage they are at).
