With the help of business experts, mentors and experienced social entrepreneurs, the ideas improved and assumptions were tested constantly, to be finally presented in the grand-finale: The Pitch Event. During this event last 10th of December in Amsterdam all participants had the chance to pitch their business plans to the Impact Hub wider community, ranging from stakeholders like Rabobank and Accenture to friends and potential future clients.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/amsterdam.impacthub.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/44\/2015\/12\/Reinout-de-Kraker-foto.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-23711\" src=\"http:\/\/amsterdam.impacthub.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/44\/2015\/12\/Reinout-de-Kraker-foto-300x170.jpg\" alt=\"Reinout de Kraker | Take Care BnB | Business Model Challenge | Startup Social Entrepreneur | Amsterdam\" width=\"300\" height=\"170\" \/><\/a>Each participant was allowed to impress the audience in a one-minute pitch. After this exciting minute, different stakeholders could invest a symbolic amount of money in the highest potential ideas \u2013 and as a result, a group of three participants was selected. All three had the chance to have a final 3-minute pitch, which finally gave us the programme\u2019s winner: Takecarebnb! Maja Gricic and Reinout de Kraker\u2019s entrepreneurial solution focuses on housing refugees in temporary Dutch \u2018foster\u2019 families. Besides a solid plan, Maja Grcic\u2019s moving pitch touched the heart and minds of the crowd and demonstrated the power of citizen leaders who passionately fight for social justice. Being a refugee herself enabled Maja to tell an authentic and convincing story of why this initiative is important.\u00a0\u00a0The audience applause was thundering. Winning the Business Model Challenge means for the fresh startup Takecarebnb the opportunity to work at Impact Hub for the coming six months and to develop and professionalise the venture with the support of peers and stakeholders.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cThe Business Model Challenge taught my participating colleague the possibility to change the perspective from \u2018what\u2019s to be done today\u2019 to \u2018what should we do on a three-month horizon\u2019. It pushed him to visit refugees himself to check assumptions, and take a broader perspective on creating a more professional organisation.\u201d Maja Grcic,\u00a0Takecarebnb<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/amsterdam.impacthub.net\/2016\/01\/21\/reinout-de-kraker-on-refugees-social-integration-and-business-modelling\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read more..<\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>By Suzanne van de Staaij | Trainee University of Amsterdam | Social Entrepreneurship<\/em><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sorry, dit bericht is alleen beschikbaar in het engels.
