CATEGORIES/ NOMINATIONS
The jury assesses startups in two categories:
1. INNOVATIVE ENTREPRENEURSHIP
(SIFE - Startups in innovative free entrepreneurship)
These entrepreneurs start a company knowing from day one that their vision could change the world. Innovators are the types of entrepreneurs who come up with completely new ideas and turn them into viable businesses.
In most cases, these entrepreneurs change the way people think about and do things. Such entrepreneurs tend to be extremely passionate and obsessive, deriving their motivation from the unique nature of their business idea.
Innovative entrepreneurs also find new ways to market their products by choosing product differentiation strategies that make their company stand out from the crowd. Moreover, sometimes it is not just standing out from the crowd but also actually creating a new crowd.
Innovative startups are always commercial (for-profit).
2. SOCIAL ENTREPRENEURSHIP
(SAGE - Startups for the advancement of a global environment).
Social entrepreneurs are innovators who focus on creating products and services that solve social needs and problems. However, unlike scalable startups their goal is to make the world a better place, not to take market share or to create to wealth for the founders. They may be nonprofit, for-profit, or hybrid.
Social startups can be non-profit, commercial (for-profit) or hybrid.
