Cable Car Challenge - Wellington’s Dragons Den
Got a big idea, or a business concept you’re working through? Enter it into the Cable Car Challenge and you could win NZ$50,000 including $30,000 of seed capital. That’s a sweet prize. It’s only for people living in the Wellington region. I attended the Mayoral launch tonight; a good turnout from Wellington’s business, academic and local government community. Good to see Rod Drury there, and Tim Norton (also a sponsor).
Check this out - finalists have to present to the judging panel in the cable car up, and answer the judges questions in the car heading down. Only 9-10 minutes to present their business plan. That’s what I call an elevator pitch.
Can I please ask the blogging community to promote this competition - it’s good for New Zealand and deserving of our support.
Thanks,
MG.

360 degrees of success — with more than 360 entrants to the first year of the Cable Car Challenge already a challenge for the first lot of judges- has to be deemed a great success with that many registrations
First cut to be announced on 17th August, that will leave 20-25 in the comp, then a further cut to the top 10 in September.
The Cable Car Ride bound to be an exciting trip for the finalists– Many thanks to Wellington City Council for the exclusive use of one of the Cable Car’s on the day, I think this is the first use outside of public transport for the Cable Car in over 100 years.

My mother drew a distinction between achievement and success. She said that ‘achievement is the knowledge that you have studied and worked hard and done the best that is in you. Success is being praised by others, and that’s nice, too, but not as important or satisfying. Always aim for achievement and forget about success.’
