A TV business expert, Adam Corbally, is asking young entrepreneurs in Hull, East Riding and Ryedale to pitch their innovative ideas for the chance to win £1,000 and a year’s mentoring.
Hull’s Making Changes for Careers programme is looking for aspiring young entrepreneurs aged 16 to 29 to submit a two-minute video about their business idea.
For at least a year, Adam will mentor the winner and provide a cash grant of up to £1,000 from the John Cracknell Youth Enterprise Bank.
Applicants must live in the Hull, East Riding, or Ryedale areas.
Adam has teamed up with the John Cracknell Youth Enterprise Bank to launch the challenge ahead of the fifteenth Global Entrepreneurship Week (GEW), which will take place from Monday 14 November to Friday 18 November in Hull.
Adam said: “This is your big opportunity to be somebody who makes things happen. I want to hear from you, and I want to hear all about your big business idea.
“You can put together a two-minute video pitch and send it over to me. Make it short, snappy, and straight to the point. Tell me all about your business idea, why it is going to be fantastic and why you are the best driving force behind that idea.”
“The winner is going to receive a 12-month mentorship with me. We are going to be in regular contact so I am going to help you with every single aspect of your business to pass on my wealth of business knowledge and help you to make the business a success… you could win up to £1,000 cash grant. This is an unbelievable opportunity. Be somebody that makes things happen.”
To send the videos, please email adam.corbally@outlook.com by Wednesday, November 9.
Councillor Paul Drake-Davis, Portfolio Holder for Economic Development and Regeneration said: “This competition is a great opportunity for our enterprising young people supported by Hull City Council.
“Last year there were four winners of the Adam Corbally Enterprise Challenge: Georgia Wormald, David Riszko, James Danville, who are now successful young entrepreneurs, and Holly Burton who is developing a social enterprise.
“I can’t wait to what will be on offer this year and I thank Adam for again running the competition and offering his mentorship to the winners.”
As part of GEM in the Hull area, the John Cracknell Youth Enterprise Bank and Hull City Council will sponsor the Hull and East Riding Youth Enterprise Awards on Friday, 18 November, where winners of 12 enterprising categories will be announced along with winners of the Adam Corbally Enterprise Challenge.
