Micro Tyco Competition
Micro-Tyco is the exciting new enterprise challenge from WildHearts, that brings together our whole society.
"The £1 is a seed that helps them discover talents they never knew they had. As the money grows, so will they."
WildHearts
Teams of up to 5 people apply to WildHearts for seed capital - a micro-loan of £1 and they have a month (November) to make as much money as possible. There are only two rules: teams cannot gamble and transactions must be legal.
Participants will discover and practise all the key skills necessary to start and run a business in a fun, stress-free environment. Learning will be enhanced by online video mentoring from top business people.
The money raised from Micro-Tyco will be invested by WildHearts in micro-loans to help entrepreneurs in impoverished countries such as El Salvador, Honduras, Peru, Bolivia, Ecuador and Nicaragua to work their own way out of poverty with dignity and respect.
The closing date for applications is 31st October. Please see the WildHearts website for more details.
