Here are answers to specific questions we have received, with answers from Sharon Waters, program manager at the Feliciano Center for Entrepreneurship:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>Q: Is the competition about who has the best, new, innovating product\/idea or is it only on how well we pitch our product?<\/div>\n<div>A. Both are important. If I had to pick one as more important, I&#8217;d say the the idea is more important. We want teams that pitch well to be moving on to the later rounds, but if a team has the most flawless style of pitching but has a horrible idea, that team would be less likely to advance.<\/div>\n<div>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Q: Do the winners have to sell the idea to the judges in the end?<br \/>\nA: Yes, ultimately each team is selling the judges on the idea, including how creative and viable the idea is, and whether it solves a real-world problem.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Q: What should go in the 2 minute video? Do you want all team members visible and speaking about the idea or can we have only our voices explaining our product in a PowerPoint presentation?<br \/>\nA: The 2-minute video should capture the essence of what your entrepreneurial idea is, and what problem it is solving. Since we asked for a video (vs an audio), we&#8217;d like to see the students pitching. It shouldn&#8217;t just be audio added to a PowerPoint.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Q: Do we need a<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"il\">prototype<\/span><span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span>of our idea?<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>A: A<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"il\">prototype<\/span><span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span>is not required, but it helps the judges visualize and understand the idea, which could be an advantage.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We have received questions about the $10,000 student pitch contest at 麻豆传媒在线, which will be open to any 麻豆传媒在线 student in 2017.
