APPLY FOR THE 2014 WJF SUSTAINABLE BUSINESS PLAN COMPETITION

The William James Foundation (WJF) invites
entrepreneurs worldwide to take part in the 2014
Sustainable Business Plan Competition. WJF supports
entrepreneurs who are building companies that will make
the world a better place.
Benefits of entering our competition:
Feedback: If you’re just putting an idea to paper,
or you’re three years in and drawing up plans for
international expansion, WJF can help.
Mentoring and Coaching
Discipline: WJF is providing constructive
commentary on your actual business ideas. And
by drawing up your plans, you will get a big
picture view of what your company can do.
Investors: Participation in the competition
significantly increases your chance to be a part of
our “Green Grab” program, which puts companies
in front of accredited investors to pitch for
professional debt or equity investment.
Prizes:
The 2014 In-Kind prizes will be worth more than
$100,000. There are also a limited number of cash prizes
available.
Eligibility
You must be an entrepreneur with a leadership
role at a for-profit company (planned or existing)
that has defined social, environmental, and/or
cultural goals built into how you make money. If
you can imagine a non-profit with the same goals
as your for-profit company, you will probably
qualify.
You can be of any age or educational status, and
you can be based anywhere in the world.
Your company must either still be in the planning
stage, or you must be considering a significant
change of direction in how your company
operates.
Your plan must be written in English.
At least one person must make or plan to make a
full time, living-wage income from your business.
Deadline: November 15, 2013
