What is The Silicon Valley Factor Competition?
The Innovation Center Denmark and BASES are excited to present The Silicon Valley Factor Competition, a competition focused on tracking the hottest Silicon Valley startups and measuring their performance. Participants pick five companies to follow as they compete with fellow students both at Stanford and several Denmark institutions and some surprise guests. Predict companies’ success and learn the ways of the Valley through blogs and media sources to update your strategy during the game and stay on top. The winner will be the one whose five companies have the largest positive delta, measured by their YouNoodle score over three months.
Prize
Winners of ‘SV Factor’ will be heading to Denmark’s Venture Cup Finals in Copenhagen, Denmark in June. Meet and network with hundreds of judges, students and entrepreneurs at one of the largest student entrepreneurship events in northern Europe.
