Patience. Creativity is a gentle process.

Each team, consisting of up to seven members, will:

Organize itself as it deems appropriate, working together, but with individuals selected to assume the responsibilities of Chief Executive, Finance Director, Marketing Director, Sales Director, etc.
Generate business ideas and pick one idea for a business
Each business idea must focus on using any resources available to them to provide a product or service that others are willing to buy
Write a business plan for their idea
Raise capital by pitching their idea to YE,A, our corporate partners, or any other individuals or organizations of their choosing in exchange for "shares" in their company
To keep teams on a level playing field and avoid turning this into a fund-raising exercise, YE,A caps the limit any team may raise at $500
Set up operations and attempt to grow their businesses
