"The competition provided great practice in writing actual, usable business plans – and the feedback in stages two and three of the competition was extremely helpful in improving the existing business plan. The SIA component of the competition was unique and extremely helpful in translating qualitative output into numbers… it was also useful when presenting to potential and existing funders...[My advice to entrants is to] take advantage of mentorship, and listen to feedback from judges because you can really create a solid business plan through the process.”
