Announced at FOWA Dublin: the iQ Prize

The iQubers are having a great day at the Future of Web Apps. A tremendous amount of energy, enthusiasm and insight from both speakers and the audience.

But there’s more.

Announcing the iQ Prize

In his “Yet another web app or successful business?” talk Morgan compared Ireland of 1977 with the Ireland of 2009. As in 1977 Ireland is currently “dans le merde”. But at iQ Content we’re not interested in adding to all the bad news. We want to tell a better story. Better for everyone. Better for Ireland.

This is why we’ve announced the iQ Prize. What is it? It’s €10,000 for the best business plan for a web app.

What’s the catch? There isn’t one. No equity. No strings. Just support if you need it.

We’re excited. We hope you are too.

    Is it open to companies in the UK or just Ireland?

    Great competition. Would suggest a closing date would be useful :-)

    Unless I am missing more info somewhere?

    Hi Laurence. Can you get in touch with me about arranging a short interview for breakfast radio in County Clare about this? :)

    Thanks,
    Conn

    Good to see net innovation is being encouraged, especially now.

    But, beyond there being no catch, can you please tell us more?

    You’re a gentleman and a scholar Lar.

    I have a few plans I might put down on paper now! :)
