Hi Lucy,
Nice to e-meet you. Thanks for your help in recruiting an on-campus advocate for the Origami Idea Challenge. I’ve included some information about the Challenge below, along with a high level description of the role. This is a compensated position.
Interested students should reach out to me with a recent copy of their resume. We are looking to move pretty quickly on this!
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~*
Origami Idea Challenge Summary:
Origami Capital Partners, a Chicago-based investment firm with committed capital of $680 million, is launching the Origami Idea Challenge to develop innovative business strategies and to identify new talent. The tournament will be a competition among several of the world’s top ranked universities (including Harvard University, University of Chicago, University of Pennsylvania, Wharton School, Columbia University, the London Business School, and the India School of Business) and will also include one division for any student, and one division that is open to anyone.
Origami Idea Challenge will award $10,000 to the winner within each university “division.” The winners of each division will compete for the grand prize of $50,000. In addition, the winner would have the potential to take his or her idea forward with Origami. Alternatively, participants could use the award to pursue their ideas independently. The tournament is a great opportunity for innovative thinkers with an interest in entrepreneurship and innovation. Judges will include Richard Elden, founder of Grosvenor Capital Management, a $20 billion investment firm; Frank Meyer, founder of Glenwood Capital Partners, now part of $50 billion Man Group; as well as Origami principals Thomas Elden and Jeffrey Young.
Participants will be asked to write a several page proposal describing the idea and providing relevant data to support the feasibility, prospective investment returns, size of the market, duration of opportunity, ability to put capital to work, and the like. Participants will be asked to submit ideas in February, and judges will ask finalists to answer questions or provide further data, as needed. Both division and final prizes are expected to be awarded during the second quarter of 2013.
Role of the On-Campus Advocate (This role will be compensated):
Origami is also looking for an on-campus advocate to help
• Socializing the tournament and acting a general advocate to help create a buzz and generate interest and encourage participation in the challenge
• Sharing communications with other relevant clubs to share out with students
• Distributing flyers / marketing materials and posting signs on-campus (all materials provided by Origami)
