Govtech-focused startup competitions can introduce new entrepreneurs to a field of business and community-impact that they would not have otherwise considered. Aspiring entrepreneurs at business-schools are rarely taught about the possibilities of government as a customer, and many may be inspired to look for opportunities in this field where they can start a business and give back to the community.
- High-impact, Medium-difficulty
- Example: Urban Resilience Challenge
- Next Steps: Reach out to local startup competitions and business programs about providing an educational session with government leaders on the opportunities in this market. Local investors may be willing to cover the cost of prize money.
