ZEN eChallenge Judges and Mentors

Judges

Judges for the ZEN eChallenge represent many industries, but generally come from the sponsor organisations. They are professionals who dedicate many hours to reading concept proposals and business plans. At each stage of the competition, feedback to participating teams is considered essential and will occur through formal feedback and informal networking sessions, as appropriate.

Mentors

The aim of the mentoring scheme is to assist teams with building a robust, realistic business model with a view to possible commercialisation. Mentors are professionals who donate their time to the ZEN eChallenge. These volunteers have experience with writing business plans and/or building great companies. While their free time is in short supply, mentors have pledged to help teams develop and refine their business plan.
