MDC Partners
The MDC Million-Dollar Challenge: Submission Deadline Extended to October 31, 2010
Update: Submission Deadline Extended to October 31, 2010
People with dreams have always been the real fuel of this business. They’ve started companies and revolutions, and they’ve become the icons of this industry.
We believe someone like that—the next great agency builder—is out there right now. And we want to be your partner. The deal is simple: send us your proposal for your new company. It can be an advertising agency, a digital agency, a public-relations or design or research firm, or something we don’t even know about yet. If we love it, we’ll invest a million dollars in your idea and partner with you in building your dream.
HOW TO SUBMIT A PROPOSAL
There really are no formal requirements and very few rules. Feel free to submit your plan in whatever way best articulates your vision. It can be a one-pager, an introductory presentation deck or a complete business plan. Remember that a key criterion in our decision making will be the quality of your work, so it would probably be good to include some samples of what you’ve done to date.
We can accept proposals in the following formats: Word documents, PowerPoint presentations, PDFs or links to a site. (If it’s password protected, please don’t forget to provide the password.)
Send proposals to startup@mdc-partners.net
All submissions will be held in confidence by MDC Partners for use in accordance with this Challenge and as set forth in the attached Terms and Conditions. By submitting a proposal, you consent and agree to the Terms and Conditions.
If you have any further questions or thoughts, please submit them to startup@mdc-partners.net and we’ll get back to you within a few days.
