$50K Prize for Entrepreneurship
Posted by Allison Fine on February 22, 2010
The Hitachi Foundation is offering a prize of $50,000 for six young entrepreneurs. The Yoshiyama Young Entrepreneurs program will select up to six winners who meet the following criteria:
- The entrepreneur must have established his or her business with the expressed dual purpose of operating a successful business and accelerating upward economic mobility for low-wealth individuals in America;
- He or she must be at least 18 years old, and must have been 29 years old or younger when the business began generating revenue;
- The business must be 1-5 years old and have been generating revenue for at least the past 12 months;
- The award is open to businesses organized as “for profit” or “nonprofit,” but must depend primarily on an earned-income revenue model.
This is a really great opportunity for some enterprising young person – please help spread the word!
