Congrats on winning the competition! I did a bit of searching and saw your presentation, http://prezi.com/iyjcef23lmez/copy-of-gamegnat-bmc/.
Wow. Did you use powerpoint to make that? It's one of the best presentations I have ever seen. Good luck developing the MVP, it looks like it could be a fantastic community.

It's using Prezi. I agree the presentation is top notch. No surprises they won!
Sandip is correct! Big thanks to the team at Prezi -- it was great fun using their tools to create that presentation.
I was at the lunch he mentioned - we have a good startup community here in Utah but it was surprising to see the number of people that showed up to hear him. I hope to see the number of scalable startups in Utah increase over time.
Go utah!
I just moved back to Utah from SF. Thinking about a HN meetup.

My co-founder and I had the fortune to spend a large part of the weekend with a CS PhD candidate from University College London. He had been a part of Business Plan competitions run in the London area for the last few years, and was effectively sent as an envoy to see the benefit of a Business Model competition. After talking to him and competing in said competition, I've come to realize the underlying benefit: The emphasis on input over output truly puts BYU's competition above the rest in terms of practicality and learning.
As an aside, my co-founder and I make up Gamegnat, the team that took first place at the competition. We're currently exploring options for MVP creation, and would love to talk to anyone with a passion for gaming and web development that may be interested in working with us in a founder (significant equity) or freelancer (cash) capacity.
