Process and Notification
- A selection committee will screen all entries and up to ten (10) applicants will be selected to “pitch” their idea
- Applications will be evaluated based on:
- Clarity of mission
- Approach to issue or challenge
- Plan for sustainability and growth
- Use of funds and in-kind services
- Applicants will be notified by email in early June
- It is difficult to obtain detailed information about the selection committee’s decisions about the applications eventually chosen, so you should not anticipate detailed feedback if your application is not selected
- Presentation will be no longer than 5 minutes and 5 slides in length
- Participants will take part in a brief Q & A with a panel of local entrepreneurs and leaders
- The panel will then deliberate and select a winner
To assist applicants in preparation for their “Pitch”, HarborOne is offering “Take your Best Shot”, a virtual coaching session focused on developing winning pitches on May 4, 2022 at 10am-11am. Register. The session will be recorded and available to view on the HarborOne website after May 5th.
