Editor’s note: This article was first published in June 2011, and the funding amounts (€20,000 to €49,000), the 10 selected projects and the support package describe Wayra’s 2011 call; current programmes differ.
For entrepreneurs with an advanced, mature business idea, Wayra has opened a call for business projects looking for funding and support from the company. The call closes this 17 June.
From all the candidates who submit their business project, Wayra will select 10 and offer them comprehensive support. The selected business ideas will receive funding of between €20,000 and €49,000 during the first few months, depending on how the project is assessed.
In addition, Wayra will help the entrepreneur obtain other kinds of funding, from both private investors and public grants and subsidies. It will also offer legal advice, training courses, technical support and the chance to use its own infrastructure.
Remember that registration closes this 17 June.
To read the rules of the competition and find out how to take part, visit www.Wayra.org.
Finally, keep in mind that with so much competition, more weight will be given to innovative projects that can spot a business opportunity and show a quick return on the capital invested.
Good luck to all the entrepreneurs.
