On Wednesday we had a lunch meeting at Tufts for all those who are finalists, plus a number of advisors.
My team didn't really know what to expect going into it.
It was a rather informative session where each team had to go around, give their elevator pitch, then field questions and feedback from the advisors (and some other teams too). We weren't prepared with our elevator pitch -- having it on our weekly meeting schedule for about a month now; so I had to come up with it on the fly while the two teams before me went. I was pleased with the result, and have written up what I said for future use.
It helped give us good insight to our competition (though not all teams attended), and we received some valuable advice from the advisors. We also learned more about the next steps of the competition, and that the winner will be determined the same day - right after the completion of the presentations.
I won't go into more detail about the competitor's ideas -- as I consider it a private session (As opposed to my last post which consisted of information each team posted publicly on YouNoodle about their companies).
We're eager to work toward our 15 minute presentation for 3/25, which will be here in no time!
