Building capital, one action at a time!
Raising and sustaining business capital is a major challenge for many entrepreneurs, especially small business owners and startups. Without adequate support, this struggle can be overwhelming.
At BloomCity Challenge, we provide a platform to raise capital for your business. You submit your business idea or creative work. Once your submission is accepted, you can rally your fans, friends, and family to vote and crowdfund in support of your idea. Minimum vote is One Hundred Naira (N100) - no maximum. At the end of the challenge season, you pack, directly, the funds voted for your business. You only contribute to our broader empowerment goals.
If you are among the top 10 participants who exceed a threshold, you win one year visibility slot on our website. If you climb further among the top 5, you win a brand new website for your business, hosted by us for one year. All these are in addition to the funds you pack as votes for your business.
Ranks at BloomCity, as Participant or as Referrer
In addition, we would like you to climb our success ranks either as a participant or as a referrer:
Rank 1: BloomCity Participant or Referrer - all who sign up for the BloomCity Challenge either as participant or as referrer; all whose Current Blooms are equivalent to N50,000 or below are in Rank 1. They become friends of BloomCity and can climb through the ranks.
