As published on Business Wire, in a move designed to unearth, ignite, and amplify the potential of today’s entrepreneurs, Momentum Ventures, a company committed to creating and growing startups, announces the launch of the Momentum $1,000,000 Challenge.

Adopting a distinct approach towards startup competitions, Momentum Ventures isn’t seeking the next ‘unicorn’ business idea – it’s seeking the next ‘unicorn’ leader. A leader who possesses strong execution skills combined with an extraordinary level of grit and commitment.

“Rather than focusing on the idea, we’re focusing on the people. Ideas are freely available and execution is everything,” says Momentum CEO Matt Keezer. “We’re excited to hear from you, and we’re equally excited to support your ambitions.”

This competition is a unique opportunity for motivated entrepreneurs to lead Momentum’s next startup. It isn’t essential to have a well-formulated business idea. In fact, applicants don’t need an idea in order to apply. What truly matters is the story behind the person – their talents, their aspirations, and their drive.

The Momentum $1,000,000 Challenge prizes go well beyond the financial backing. At stake for the winners:

• A minimum of $1,000,000 in financial support for their entrepreneurial journey.
• A significant equity stake in the startup they’ll be leading.
• The chance to work with and learn from a talented team of serial entrepreneurs, gaining unparalleled industry insights and mentorship.

Momentum is not just offering a competition; it’s offering a career-defining opportunity. To every spirited individual with an entrepreneurial mindset, this is your call-to-action. Your chance to demonstrate your leadership abilities, to share your story, and to reveal your skills and ambitions.

Applicants are encouraged to submit their candidacy via the Momentum Ventures website as of today. The Momentum $1,000,000 Challenge aims to change the way entrepreneurship is fostered, with a steadfast belief that people – not just ideas – are the engine of innovative startups.
