= Purpose =

~~= Distinct Differences From Other Offerings =~~IBMC wants to dramatically improve the success rate of new ventures by bringing a very different perspective to entrepreneurship. Instead of asking its participants to research existing business models, or craft a perfect sales pitch, IBMC focuses on the process of developing and validating the perfect business models by encouraging its participants to identify and clarify the assumption in the model. IBMC believes that entrepreneurship should not be similar to managing a corporation, since the problems they are facing and the dynamics are very different. As the first international competition of its kind (open to all students) IBMC ultimately wants to change the way entrepreneurship is currently being taught and bring our attention to the importance of validating assumptions.

~~Unlike other offerings, the IBMC emphasizes these three key steps:~~= Distinct Differences From Other Startup Competitions =

The IBMC is a unique student startup competition focused on the ~~assumptions'''#'''Test~~ inputs, not the outputs, of the entrepreneurial process.The competition requires active identification and validation of crucial business model hypotheses rather than the ~~assumptions with real~~ writing of a static business plan, talking to customers~~'''#'''Pivot~~ outside the building rather than gathering secondary data inside the building, applying customer development rather than relying on product development, and ~~tell~~ “pivoting” or changing course rather than executing on the ~~story'''~~plan.

In short, IBMC emphasizes these three key steps:

#'''Identifying and tracking business model hypotheses'''

#'''Testing and validating these hypotheses with customers'''

#'''Iterating their business model based on customer feedback'''

= Impact Achieved For Students and Campus =

The IBMC ~~is currently co~~helps students and campuses in many different ways. First, the competition encourages students to explore entrepreneurship -~~hosted by Brigham Young University~~and with a different mindset. With the advice and critiques given throughout the competition, students will further develop and strengthen their ideas. Second, workshops and lectures will be arranged at the beginning of the year. These events invite experienced entrepreneurs to talk about their approach and help the students work on their businesses. Even without the competition, these lecturers are very helpful in bringing student interest to entrepreneurship. Lastly, ~~Harvard University~~the monetary award helps the winners to roll out the business plan. With $25, 000 given to the first place and ~~Stanford~~ with a total of 28 award recipients, students can have a great financial start on their business as well. = University.Involvements =

= Creating a University Competition =

The organizers of the International Business Model Competition encourage the development of similar competitionsat schools throughout the world. Business model competitions transform student entrepreneurs' perspectives, helping them learn a more effective approach to entrepreneurship that dramatically increases their chances of success. Even if your school already holds a business plan competition, experience has shown that holding a BMC before or in conjunction with a business plan competition or new venture competition leads to significantly better businesses.

Universities interested in hosting their own qualifier competition must have a full-time faculty or staff that will hold the position of competition director to insure the longevity of the competition. It is also strongly recommended that this director leverage an existing student club or assemble a team of student leaders to run the competition. If would like to start a qualifier competition at your school or have an existing competition serve as an IBMC Qualifier Competition, send an email to [mailto:businessmodelcompetition@gmail.com <span style="font-family: Arial; background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; text-decoration-line: underline; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">businessmodelcompetition@gmail.com].
