Judge

Be an investor. A judge. A mentor. An angel. Representatives of corporations, foundations and venture capital firms will have the opportunity to network with their fellow leaders in the social venture field, matching interest and discussing developments. You'll have a preview of rising MBA talent and the most promising projects. And you'll be part of an effort to encourage social entrepreneurship as a regular part of MBA education, enhance the number and quality of social venture initiatives and increase deal flow throughout the sector.

Mentoring is a key component of the success of the Global Social Venture Competition. Entrant teams build relationships with members of the business community – seasoned high-profile professionals who provide indispensable advice, guidance and networks that endure beyond the competition. These mentors and their networks can be prospective advisers, board members, additional management team members or potential investors.
