The SEVEN Fund announces The VINE Competition
The VINE (Virtual Integrated Networking Experience) Project will award $50,000 in prizes to individuals or teams of contributors for developing investment indicators for emerging market start-ups. This process strives to answer the question: "What indicators can outside investors measure to help them predict the potential success of emerging market SMEs?" We will do this through a five-month long online competition that invites anyone with ideas to submit, collaborate, and refine them. The end result of the competition will be an index of factors that the SEVEN Fund will release to the public to assist in broader analysis of opportunities for investment in emerging markets..

* Indicates a Required Field
Entrepreneurs create products, services and jobs. They expand economies, improve people's lives, provide employment (high and rising wages) and bring about competition. A competitive environment, in turn, gives rise to efficiency, meritocracy and further innovations and entrepreneurial drive.
The potent combination of entrepreneurship and technological innovation can forge an environment that is conducive to further enterprise, involving even government policy in supporting entrepreneurship and innovation.
