INVITATION FOR European Business Club :  Participate in the LAUNCH TOGETHER BUSINESS PLAN COMPETITION

 

 

Animesh, I haven't yet heard back from you regarding the invitation for your student organization to participate in the Launch Together Business Plan Competition. When it comes to getting an idea off the ground, every little bit of support and capital helps (especially in economic times like these). The competition is a great way for members of European Business Club to earn cash to help cover the start-up costs for the ventures they're likely brewing. It's likely that you and your members, being the creative and industrious-types, have business plans already assembled. Why not put them to good use for a chance to earn a little more prize money? Cost to enter? Nope- it's totally free. Catches or tricks? Negative- none of those either.  Visit http://www.launchtogether.com for more information or follow the link below to view the official competition rules. I handpicked European Business Club because I believe that ibovo, a soon-to-launch site for entrepreneurs, and the Launch Together Competition, are perfect for you and your members. ibovo will change the way entrepreneurs get together, making it possible for people or teams find potential partners across the world to start and grow their ventures. On the flip side, ibovo allows individuals with diverse experiences, skills and goals to find a venture they would like to participate in. I hope you'll help to spread the word about ibovo and the Launch Together Business Plan Competition to your members. We've made it easy for you. Use the button below to get a ready-to-go email template and a competition flyer to print and distribute, or attach to an email. As the ongoing contact person for you and the members of your group, I'm available to answer your questions or provide more details about Launch Together Competition. Please don't reply to this email. Instead, use the "Contact ibovo" button below (the message will be routed directly to me.) I can also be reached by phone. If you'd like to schedule some time to chat, just let me know.

 

Cheers, Chris Gorgoni         Launch Together Competition Coordinator, ibovo, LLC.
