Second Life Business Plan Contest
Valley-based PR company Edelmann and The Electric Sheep Company are teaming up to sponsor what is most probably the first business plan competition for entrepreneurs in the virtual world of Second Life. according to the official announcement, applications are expected to be focused on improving the SL community, including business ideas like development of products, services or machinima-movies. requirements for filings include:
- Clear, detailed description of the product or service you plan on offering
- Description of how you intend to make money, and the cost structure that would be needed to support operations
- Description of your target market and any research you have done proving out demand for your product or service
- Description of how you intend to bring the product/service to the market, i.e. sales and marketing strategies
- Analysis of direct or indirect competition
- Background of your team (i.e. show why you are the people to get it done)
the winner is entitled to use a private island for 6 months and, more importantly, the amount of L$350.000 - equal to approx. USD 1.280,-. while this might not sound a lot, it could at least free an aspiring web-developer or gfx-designer from everyday-work for a few weeks, to get things started.
