You are invited to serve as a judge for this virtual business pitch competition event as a member of the NFTE entrepreneurial community. We are looking for various members of the NFTE volunteer community to review business plans submitted by NFTE students from across the Southeast region. NFTE judging panels are composed of a mix of investors and industry experts, including venture capitalists, angel investors, investment bankers, seasoned entrepreneurs, and business professionals of all kinds. We seek a good balance of volunteers that mirror and model the demographic diversity of our young entrepreneurs.
This Challenge consists of 4 rounds: the first round will occur virtually (asynchronous) from Thursday, April 10, 2025 through Saturday, April 12, 2025. The Quarter-final round will be live (virtual via Zoom) Wednesday, April 23, 2025, through Friday, April 25, 2025. The semifinal and Final rounds are happening in person on May 13, 2025, at 10X Event Headquarters.

Your Role
As a judge at the NFTE Southeast Regional Youth Entrepreneurship Challenge Semifinals, you will have the important role of evaluating student groups as they present their business plans. Together with a panel of judges, you'll interact with these young entrepreneurs by asking insightful questions and providing constructive feedback on both their business plans and presentation techniques, all within the framework of the NFTE rubric. Your role will be crucial in deliberating with fellow judges to identify the business plan that not only offers an innovative solution to a real-world problem but also exemplifies a strong entrepreneurial mindset in the students. You will also have the opportunity to provide constructive feedback to the student on their business ideas via our judging platform, Reviewr.
