Decorative video pitch bannerCreate a video pitch!

Create a 1 minute video (YouTube/TikTok) talking about you and your business. Below are some questions to help you get started:

  • What is your business or social enterprise idea?
  • How did you get the idea?
  • What problem does it solve?
  • What makes you different to your competitors (other businesses or social enterprises who are solving the same problem as you)?
  • Why are you the right person to set this business or social enterprise up – what are your skills?
  • How would winning the Enterprise Challenge help you to launch your business or social enterprise?

We are not looking for a Hollywood production!

You will be judged on the content of your video so don't worry too much about the quality. You can film using your phone, webcam or a camera; just make sure you record your video in a quiet space for clear sound. If you have graphics or a presentation, feel free to include this but it's not mandatory. Once you're done, upload your video to YouTube (Public or Unlisted - if you select 'Private' we will not be able to access the video), or TikTok and submit the link using the application form below.

Remember, we're interested in the content!

What happens next?

Applications to the first stage of the competition will be reviewed by the Generator team and scored based on feasibility of idea and motivation to apply. Shortlisted applicants will be invited to proceed to Stage 2 and matched to a mentor to guide them through the rest of the competition, where they will receive a series of free training workshops to turn their ideas into a business plan.
