You will receive an introduction to your coach via email. You should plan on meeting with your coach at least 3 times to cover the areas below in advance of the competition. Your coach will also be with you throughout the competition day to provide guidance and feedback.
- Feedback and improvements to your written submission and financial.
- You must re-submit your written submission by 6:00 P.M Thursday, March 19.
- The written submission comprises written plan, financial (3 years of cashflow, income statement and balance sheet), plus any appendices.
- Note your written section is restricted to a maximum of 5 pages.
- Pitch deck: discuss, draft and review your pitch deck.
- Google Slides links to pitch decks are due to Paul Gladen by 6pm Monday, March 23. We are using Google Slides this year so that you can continuously update your deck throughout the competition.
- Note that you have 25 minutes with each set of judges and we recommend you spend no more than 8-10 minutes pitching with the remaining time for Q&A.
