YouWin Connect Process Stage
To get that YouWin fund. You will need to go through all the stages outlined in the image below.
YouWIN evaluation process
YouWiN! is a nationwide business plan challenge sponsored by the Nigerian government to promote entrepreneurship, startup growth, and job creation.
Eligible Nigerian youths are expected to apply via the website and upload a business plan draft for review.
A judging panel evaluate the business ideas to determine which ones are the most viable, and those candidates are then coached on how to write a business plan. The panel then decides which business plans have the best chance of succeeding, with the best receiving funds worth $1,200 per year to assist them in actualizing their entrepreneurial dream.
YouWiN pays grants in phases over a period while it tracks the growth of the businesses, assigning personnel to inspect all of them, and ensuring that the funds are not misappropriated.

How to win YouWin Connect 2021 (Best Tips)
Here are some tips that can help you win the YouWin competition 2021:
Originality
Great business ideas must be unique and able to better an already established solution, fix a large-scale problem, or satisfy current market demand successfully.
YouWIN Judges and financiers reject business ideas that are merely spin-off from other successful ideas because they generally have no edge in competing against already successful businesses.
To win a business plan competition, you must have an innovative, viable, scalable business idea.
Profitability
Even the most disruptive innovations must be able to generate revenue at a certain stage. Most investors won’t fund businesses that won’t pay off in the long haul.
Your business plan should illustrate precisely how your business will produce a long-term profit for investors in order to garner excitement in your business during the competition.
Although some investors are attracted to other elements of a business, such as its social consciousness or responsibility, most investors are seeking to increase their holdings by investing in companies that can generate high profits.
Presentation
A business plan challenge isn’t necessarily about having the best idea. If you cannot effectively communicate your ideas during your presentation, then your beautiful business plan and interesting ideas are worthless.
You will be given a limited amount of time (such as 10 minutes) to speak — and cramming all of the essential content into that time frame can be challenging.
Judges seek self-assured entrepreneurs who can express their business well enough to demonstrate the idea’s profitability and viability.

Imrana Umar,your doubting the veracity of the Youwin program won't make it a hoax or false.We know people who have benefited from this laudable program in the past and are doing well in their various enterprises.

I am one of the beneficiaries. We have a case of cheating 4-5 ppl sacrefice a candidate for obj ans this is happening in a business centre here in Jos, plateau state. While I spend 3 days studying and doing my activity test and answering my objectives somebody is busy recruiting and doing it for some hours and scoring high points without working and just feeding in the answers in just some few hours. Please look into this happening here in Jos, Plateau state. My scores are marketing management =90/100, financial management =88/100, human resource management =100/100. I just youwinconnect should also consider looking into the man hour people put in to answer all questions.
With due regards and to the YouWinConnect programme. I'm from North West, one of the online training participants,i have completed my online courses today 10 of January 2018, and I earned 485 CD points. But what is scaring me is that, some business centres and cafes are there busy selling points to participants just to score maximum points.
How can this prudelent activities can be detected and be dealth with them. Something has to be done in order to have the right participants whose uses their time, energy and resources to acquire the training knowledge .
I hope serious action would be taken to sought things out in respect to the standard of the YouWinConnect programme.
Thank you. Yours Sincerely
