All aboard for a novel entrepreneurial adventure

 print  e-mail 

Are you ready to Rock’n’Rail? In early 2007 invitations will be going out to 250 selected entrepreneurs and investors, to board a privately chartered train and take part in a unique competition to win a guaranteed investment of £50,000.

Brain Train World is the inspiration of Nick Holme, who came up with the concept during an ‘Archimedes eureka moment’, pondering how best to put together entrepreneurs and investors with everybody having a chance to pitch their ideas to a sympathetic audience, and for business opportunities to become a reality.

The train leaves London for Edinburgh in April 2007, and the competition takes place on board to find the best business idea. At the journey’s end back in London the following day, not only will there be a happy winner, but all entrepreneurs will have had the chance to pitch their ideas to interested potential investors.

There are only 250 places available so anyone keen on taking part in this unique experience should visit www.braintrainworld.com now to register their names and avoid disappointment.

Brain Train World founder Nick Holme comments “Enormous interest has been shown in this idea by people from all around the world and we are delighted at the prospect of being able to put together so many budding business ideas in a truly entrepreneurial environment. We are already being asked to duplicate the concept in other countries. I would like to encourage as many people as possible to take advantage of this opportunity - make the journey to reap the reward.”
