Hi Jennifer,
We will confirm ASAP but seems that none of those apply – it’s for people with businesses or people wanting to start a business.
Hi
Thanks. I will await your response.
I see the previous response read:
“Hi Jennifer
We will confirm ASAP but seems that none of those apply – it’s for people with businesses or people wanting to start a business.”
I’m a bit confused as points 4 & 5 of your T&C’s are pretty clear that you need to have an existing running business.
It’s such a great opportunity and would love to participate but need some clarity on these matters first.
Thanks a mill.
The Ts and Cs have been amended for clarity – if you still have queries please email [email protected]
Thanks so much.That helps a lot.
Hi there,
What an opportunity!!!!
Once you have sent through your audio, how long till we find out if you made it or not?
Hi!
This got me excited the second I saw it!! But sadly my business is not registered as yet. I have just been a young entrepreneur pushing the hustle and working hard to succeed in all my business ideas.
Would have have looked forward to being part of such a great opportunity!!
Kind Regards
Chantal Morifi
Finalists will be contacted by 12 October.
Terms say ‘Be a registered business owner OR sole proprietor for 3 months or longer’, so you don’t have to have a registered business.

Hi there. Is there a maximum age limit?
I am comfortably Over 18…hope it’s not a disqualifier!
Not at all – great ideas have no age limit! 🙂
Hi Garreth. Just wanted to know….. How does the Confidentiality work. If we pitch ideas that are AWESOME 🙂 …. how are they protected from being used if we don’t win? I have a WINNING idea .. but I have not yet managed to do the trademark application yet ? Thanks Regards Heather
Hi. Please confirm that the closing date has been changed to 02 October 2015 from 25 September 2015.
Yes – deadline has been extended.
Hello 🙂 is there a specific file format that our video must be? Quicktime movie ok?
My video is 1min and 22 seconds, will I be disqualified?
Hello, is the above list of T&C’s the only applicable T&C’s? The reason I ask is that I see people mentioning other T&C’s in their comments, yet I can’t seem to find the ones they refer to (e.g. being a registered business owner, etc.).
No, it will be fine.
We originally had different Ts & Cs that included being a registered business owner, but they decided to change it and open the competition up to everyone.
Yes, any format is fine.
Confidentiality is guaranteed and the judges are happy to sign NDAs – your idea will only be used online with your permission should your entry be successful.
Good evening
Hi, My video is a bit too large to email, can I send you a Youtube link to watch? 🙂
Hi, what is the maximum file size (MB) our attachments can be? Will 50mb be OK?
Hi Michael, it can be any size as long as it is in a standard format.
Yes, no problem.
Hi Cliff – what time tomorrow do the entries need to be in by? Many thanks for this fantastic opportunity
Thank you, my video has been sent off! Hope I win like crazy! 😀
COB tomorrow
Its a miracle I found out about this on LinkedIn this morning, Thank you so much!!!! I will submit my 60 second audio clip explaining my game changing business plan!!
Great, glad you found out about it. Make sure you submit your video today before COB.
59 seconds!! Have submitted now, now I’ve got to go to my day job. Thanks for sharing this opportunity, it is dearly appreciated.
Are you having fun reviewing all the submissions?
Do you decide and filter to Richard, or does a virgin VC team review them?
We have a panel of judges who will review all submissions. They will choose the winner.
Hi Gareth
What time will the winner be announced today?
We will announce the finalists on The Gareth Cliff Show tomorrow morning. We will also notify finalists via email.
Thank you
Hi Gareth, will you be staging another similar competition in the near future? I can’t believe I missed this opportunity. I signed an agreement with a multi national but can’t penetrate SA territory because of the lack of visionaries and the oh so often red tape. Sir Richard would have helped me break down that barrier ….damn! I’m so disappointed.
