What is the £100 Challenge?

In short, you will receive £100 investment which you will need to try to turn into profit. The winning team keeps their profits. Losing teams will be donating their money to our chosen charity. Other rules for the challenge:

Teams need to have between three to six members
You have four weeks to work on the challenge
You need to keep purchase receipts to track spending
You need to deliver a short presentation on your idea after the event

Full list of the rules will be outlined during the launch of the event. If you wish to take part, signup via the CareerHub events page.

We had many creative business ideas cut a good profit during our previous competitions. Examples include:

Food and drink sales
Date nights
Events
Valentine's day card delivery
Mystery box sales

Whether you come up with your own idea, or try something that is tested, there is no set recipe to win. If you have any questions about the challenge email startups@essex.ac.uk. We look forward to seeing you there!
