# What is the Micro-Tyco Business Challenge
Micro-Tyco is a month long challenge that enables participants to practice and learn fundamental business principles in a safe, 'micro' environment. Teams from schools, universities or businesses have one month to turn £1 seed capital into as much money as possible. Micro-Tyco unleashes participants' latent talents, fostering essential entrepreneurial th

inking, resourcefulness and team work. Participants receive world class business video training from the Micro-Tyco Mentors (including Lord Digby Jones and Sir Tom Hunter) and interact with other teams via the exclusive Micro-Tyco social network. Micro-Tycos also have the chance to expand their networks further at Future Talent Forums, Micro-Tyco Master Classes and the WildHearts GEL Summits. All money created by the Micro-Tycos is invested by WildHearts in micro-loans for poor entrepreneurs in the developing world. Participants 'become entrepreneurs to fund entrepreneurs'. By associating business excellence with economic justice, Micro-Tyco inspires the Leaders Our World Deserves.
