  ''A case in point is Vana Koutsomitis. She was probably the most talented of the contestants, but had an idea so terrible that it’s astonishing she made the final. The concept is Date Play: a dating app that combines dating and gaming. Koutsomitis correctly identifies that gaming is huge and growing, and that dating apps are huge and growing, so mixes the two into a wildly optimistic business plan that claims it’ll be making £7,000,000 of profit after three years.''

  ''Littner points out that, after 12 months, her projections leap from 50,000 members to 400,000 with no plausible explanation, except maybe “typo”.''

  Perhaps her "Oxford Phd" has jumped ship?

  
  Given that there is no such thing as an Oxford PhD, do we even really know they existed in the first place?
  
  (Oxford doctorates are DPhils rather than PhDs... and if she paid any attention during her MBA, she would have known that)

  Who would really want to waste their time playing games in order to get a date. It's a silly idea, she should abandon it and have a re-think.
