Reflecting on the 2015 IBMC Emilia said, “Do not underestimatewhat lean methodology can do for you. At first I honestly thought there was absolutely no way I could apply it to slow, expensive biotech, but I actually found it a great tool when it comes to trying to move as quickly as possible….We have used it many times before and after IBMC to decide what experimental line to pursue.png|thumb|center|500px|Business Model Canvas”</span></span><refdiv>http:<br/></www.businessmodelcompetition.comdiv></businessdiv>= Important Dates -model-canvas.html2018<br/ref>]]=
Seeing many new businesses fails in the first a few years, IBMC wants to dramatically improve the success rate 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 focus 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 and open to all students, IBMC ultimately wants to change the way currently entrepreneurship is being taught, and bring our attention to the importance of validating assumptions.

The IBMC, unlike other business competitions, stresses the process of developing an validated business model. It doesn't care how advanced the product is, or how big the market can be. Instead, it wants its participants to identify and validate the underlying assumptions. The competition will eventually be judged on the development process and final business model.= Distinct Differences From Other Startup Competitions =

*'''Building the Competition'''
*'''Organizing the Competition'''
*'''Running the Competition'''
Creating a university competition requires a group of leaders that includes at least one faculty adviser and one student director. The next primary objective is securing funding for the event and building the rest of the student team. To assist qualifier competitions, the IBMC also has several resources available through Dropbox. The school representative need to contact the IBMC or one of its administrators to request access to the files. To ask for any additional resource can contact businessmodelcompetition@gmail.com.

By recognizing that over 85 percent of new business fall fail within a the first few years, often because they try due to the attempt to plan their way to success, The the IBMC represents a radical departure from the past and is at the crest of a new paradigm in entrepreneurship. '''The IBMC is not a business plan competition.''' It doesn't reward the student for doing lots of library research, drawing fancy graphs, or crafting the perfect sales pitch to venture capitalists. Instead the IBMC want the students to<ref>http://www.businessmodelcompetition.com/general-information.html</ref>:

The Business Model Canvas is one of the key tool tools that IBMC recommends the competing teams useutilize. It is a strategic management template for developing new or documenting existing business models. The canvas consists of nine business model building blocks, which can be organized into four categories: ''Infrastructureinfrastructure, Offeringoffering, Customerscustomers,''and ''Financesfinances''.<ref>[http://www.businessmodelgeneration.com/ Business Model Generation], A.

= Impact Achieved For Students and Campus =
The IBMC is currently cohelps students and campuses in many different ways. First, the competition encourages students to explore entrepreneurship -hosted by Brigham Young Universityand with a different mindset. With the advice and critiques given throughout the competition, Harvard Universitystudents will further develop and strengthen their ideas. Second, workshops and Stanford Universitylectures 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, the monetary award helps the winners to roll out the business plan.
