WHAT IS NAPKINCOMP?
Napkin Competition believes that all business ideas are valuable. More than that, we know that every idea starts rough and underdone.
What NapkinComp asks, is that you submit an idea, no matter how crazy or left-field, to move your business one step closer to reality and make it reach its true value.
****
WHAT’S THE CATCH?
No catch, no sub-clauses, no cheap promises
All we want is YOU to submit your ideas & to make you realise that entrepreneurship is NOT scary or risky.
You can create your own money rather than work for it!
****
WHAT TO DO?
