Rivo on judging panel of “Be Your Own Boss”

Be Your Own Boss is Warwick University’s answer to the TV series “Dragon’s Den.”

The competition, which is open to all Warwick students, offers up to £2,000 in prize money for the winning entries. Winners need to submit an innovative business idea to a panel of expert judges. There are two categories in which entries can be submitted: the “Business” category and the “Ideas/Concepts” category.

The semi-final is taking place on February 8th, with a panel of judges from local businesses including Rivo Software, as well as Warwick alumni and one member of the academic faculty, judges are asked to select three ideas from each business category, which will then progress to present in front of 5 judges and an audience at the final on February 18th.

Be Your Own Boss is sponsored by Bank of America Merrill Lynch, Accenture, Warwick Business School Enterprise Hub and the National Consortium of University Entrepreneurs (NACUE).
