enture bring your ideas cup to life How do ideas come to life? What separates the good ideas from the bad? Are the only ideas brought to life coming from high profile engineers? Questions like these might have crossed your mind, and you might even have wished to be the brain behind Skype or Google Text: Stine Trolle Picture: Esben Hjorth What is Venture Cup? As a student at ASB, you, and any other students under AU, have the opportunity to bring your ideas to life by entering the cross-disciplinary business plan competition, Venture Cup. The idea behind Venture Cup is to give students at Danish Universities and other higher educational institutions the chance to turn their ideas and projects into real life businesses. “In order to enter the competition, students do not necessarily need to have an idea or a complete business plan nor a complete Venture cup team. Students are able to enter the competition if they believe that they can offer skills that other teams might be able to make the use of, “says Anja Bukhave Larsen, project assistant at Region Midt Jylland. Networking workshops set up by Venture Cup provide students with the opportunity to discuss their ideas with other students who might possess skills in other fields. Thereby, it is possible to test, develop and optimize an idea before handing over a complete business plan to the judges. What is in it for me? By being a contestant in the Venture Cup competition, you will not only get the opportunity to have your ideas evaluated, critiqued and judged by business profiles, such as Dennis Westergaard, Business Development Manager at Danfoss Ventures, Jacob Sand CEO of Capital+ and other 8 COMMERCIEL - DE STUDERENDES MÅNEDSMAGASIN business profiles. It will also give you the opportunity to improve your resume by adding “Venture Cup contestant” to it. “Being a part of the Venture Cup competition, you have the chance to get feed-back on some of the ideas and projects that you have developed throughout the semester from professional real life business people, all free of charge. You get an insight into how things are in the real business world, and you get the chance to present your idea and profile to high profile business people, which might be to your advantage later on,” says Hans William Falck, Masters’ Student in IT and Information Studies. He and two other students are the people behind TAG, a TAG-shirt that is designed and developed to help blind people get around in their every day life. At the regional final, their idea was rewarded with DDK 10.000. Peder Østergaard, Vice Dean of ASB and board member of Venture Cup representing AU agrees with Hans William Falck. “The competition gives the students a miniature image of what the real business world is like.” Peder Østergaard explains that there has been a good support from the business community and thinks that both students and businesses benefit from the interaction, and that the Venture Cup competition gives the educational institutions ideas to new cross-disciplinary educational programs. Mads Kramhøft Anja Bukhave Larsen Two students who have proven that cross-disciplinary projects are worth developing are ASB students Martin Klint and John Agerholm. In a project with Hvidovre hospital, they realized their idea of Immutell and they were also the winners of DDK 10.000 at the regional Venture Cup final. The two Master’s Students are blogging on ASB’s web page and are now preparing for the national final where the first prize is a sum of DDK 250.000. How to enter Venture Cup “One of the first days of class, one of our professors encouraged us to enter the Venture Cup competition because it gives us the opportunity to put theory and projects into a real life perspective,” says Rasmus Enø, another of the three master brains behind TAG. The three students all agree that professors and teachers at the different faculties have a huge impact on how many students that enter the competition. Anja Bukhave Larsen explains that the amount of entering teams has tippled this year in region Midt Jylland; it might be because promotion has been a bit broader this year, or because students now have a better idea of what Venture Cup is. Conclusively, she points out that it still is possible to enter the competition on www.venturecup.dk by submitting a 15-30 pages business plan of your idea by 12 May 2008.
