The team leader of the “most disruptive” prize will represent the team to fly to Sydney in the last week of October in 2016 to present the business plan with other finalists from Austria and other countries.
• Teams can be any size. However typical teams are composed of 2-5 people.
• Teams can add or remove people throughout the program, however the team leader need to be kept informed of every change.
• Students admitted through the program will be given access to our platform, where all the information about the program will be accessible and daily updated. On that platform you will find plenty of resources to help you to develop your business plan and prototype.
• Students will be provided with workshops and mentoring session in order to help them develop your business plans and prototype.

• Ideas are only eligible if the business idea submitted originated from one or more members of the team. The IP belongs solely to the students.
• The program is open to teams that may rely upon IP owned by third parties, such as patented technology developed by companies or Universities. It is not necessary at the time of entry to have negotiated licenses or other agreements to use these ideas.
• Business that have been up and running for more than 6 months are not accepted into the program.
• The information submitted will be treated confidentially. Non-disclosure agreements will not be signed with any team. In order to participate in the program, you have to provide complete and reliable information about your idea and your team.
• Within the first three weeks of the program, the teams can change their business idea completely. The new idea will be revised by the Genesis team to make sure it follows all the criteria of the program. After the team works with the mentors, the idea can change and pivot, but the core (the proposition) must stay the same.

Final Deliverables

• Business plan (by the 30^th of June - Mandatory): a consistent up to 5 pages business plan with key information about the business must be delivered. Some templates and examples will be available in the Slack E-learning community. The experts invited to the workshops and your mentor will help you on this task.
• Prototype (by the 30^th of June - Optional): this will vary depending on your idea. For example, if you are thinking to set up a venue, a prototype could be a map, a mockup or a drawing. If you are developing a website or app, the prototype could be code (a beta version we can check online) or any product.
• Video pitch (by the 30^th of June - Mandatory): as a team you would be asked to submit a video pitch to describe your idea and how it has grown through the program. If your idea has changed from the original one you submitted, it's ok, just explain why. The video can have any format, but need to be shorter than three minutes.

The three deliverables need to be submitted through email.
