Stimulus presents Get in the Ring a global entrepreneurship competition that will be held on the 27th of November 2015 at The Basement, 162 Swan Drive [Celebration Centre]. The event is being sponsored by SNV Zimbabwe, an organisation that has been contributing to poverty reduction and economic growth in Zimbabwe since 1983. This move demonstrates SNV Zimbabwe’s commitment to supporting the growth of entrepreneurship and inclusive business through the Inclusive Business Forum with the primary purpose of creating jobs and alleviating poverty in Zimbabwe.

Ahead of the event Stimulus and pitch competition event organizers Emerging Ideas will co-host a 'Pitch Boot-Camp" which is aimed to teach the participants how to develop their business model and elevator pitch on Saturday 21st November 2015 with an 8.30am start.
“Stimulus is an entrepreneurial hub that builds capacity in entrepreneurs through mentorship, training and networking and it is the proud host of “Get in the Ring” Zimbabwe National finals. Stimulus decided to host this event because it gives a great opportunity to high impact entrepreneurs seeking to grow their brands beyond Zimbabwe and accelerate their business growth” said Rudo Nyangulu-Mungofa, Stimulus’ executive director.
Get in the Ring was founded in 2009 in the Netherlands and is run in over 50 countries around the world. The competition gives entrepreneurs an opportunity to gain visibility and potentially win prizes that will enable them to accelerate their business growth. The format of the competition is based on a ’battle’ format played out in a boxing ring. To attain the championship position the entrepreneur needs to deliver a convincing ‘elevator pitch’ clearly detailing their business model, unique selling point and requirements for growth. The winner will gain a regional  podium from which to connect with investors as well as to create a fan base and attract new customers. In the battles two startups literally face off against each other in the ring delivering their elevator pitches and showcasing why one business is better than the other. During the brief rounds they present their startup to a jury of Champion investors, and an audience of potential investors and fans, in a competition that can result in a potential investment for the winner. The entrepreneur that becomes the Zimbabwe ‘Get in the Ring’ Champion at the National final will win an all expenses paid trip to South Africa for the regional finals among other prizes.
