A two-day entrepreneurship tournament hosted by Hayek Global College.

This tournament will push the new generation of leaders to innovate, solve real world problems and pitch business solutions to investors... and earn cash prizes!

How the Challenge Works

• Participants will do workshops with entrepreneurs, and Hayek Professors and grouped into teams. They will be tasked to present a new business idea over the week.

• Each team will present their solution to a panel of investors who will judge the presentations that they are most likely to invest in. 

• Groups will be of 4 students at most, and Hayek students will mentor the teams.

  
  

Who can participate?

Anyone who:

• Is in high school

• Has at least intermediate English skills

  
  

Awards

All participants will receive a Hayek dry-fit t-shirt, and a Participation Certificate.

The best groups will receive cash prizes*

• Runners-up: R$ 1000

• Champions: R$ 2000 

* The cash prizes are for the entire group. So for example, if a group of 4 participants wins R$2000, each person will earn R$ 500.
