The Gazette reports on Tom Higley's 10-10-10 startup competition

Vokl's Tom Higley is organizing a "10-10-10" competition for entrepreneurs in Denver this fall, says the Colorado Springs Gazette.

Excerpt:

Denver entrepreneur Tom Higley is putting together a business plan competition that he hopes will bring 10 startup CEOs to Denver for 10 days in October  to seek out 10 market opportunities and secure an investment of up to $500,000.

...

"We are looking for 10 problems with significant market opportunities, 10 would-be CEOs from around the country that would come to Denver for 10 days in October," Higley said. "We will fund three of them, but it won’t be a large amount because we want the CEO to be responsible for raising the money and building the team. It needs to be enough to attract top talent, and we will be looking for a fund to invest alongside of us. Our expectation is one of the three will stay in Denver and the other two will return to where the CEO is from."
