4 Major Reasons Why People Don’t Win this Grant
1. No Unique story: If you have good idea and no good story of leadership, competence, emotional logic to back up the idea or business, you will not be selected.
2. No Unique Value proposition: If you are doing what every other person is doing in your industry and you are not bringing any new way of doing the business. You will not be selected. Your idea must be feasible and scalable. Infusing technology into your idea or business makes it attractive to them. E.g Website, mobile app or any technology that can drive your processes.
3. Unrealistic Financials: If you cannot articulate in accurate figures what you are selling, how you are going to make money and all the cost associated with it and the profit behind it. You are not going to be selected.
4. No/low Impact: This is very important in this Grant, your business must have direct and indirect impact. You stand a better chance if you are going to impact 100s, 1000s or millions of people with your idea/business.
