Jason, We have grouped judges so that, for the most part, they are evaluating plans in the same track for an apples to apples comparison. This year we received a large number of plans in all tracks. Thank you for supporting Duke entrepreneurs! - Tim Canavan, Duke Startup Challenge Judging Chair
Am I missing something, or is every entrant this year a non-profit or "social" enterprise? I have nothing against that, just curious whether any for-profits have been entered at all, or whether I just happened not to get any of them to judge...
A few clarifications based on the queries i've been getting:
1. The page limit is 2 pages with 1 inch margins and 11 point font. Everything including names etc. should fit in two pages. You may use headers and footers.
2. Your team needn't be final at this stage. The team you enter in the business plan (next stage) will be final. However, the judges for the executive summary will look at the make up of your team, so it is important for this round as well.
3. We expect to see some updates/revisions in the business plan. So if there are small discrepancies in the executive summary now and the business plan later that is OK and expected.
Hope this helps. If you have any more last minute questions call me on 617-335-5642.
Good luck!

Two page executive summaries due by 5pm on Wednesday, February 10th, 2010. Submit them on this page. You'll need to join the group first, and we'll be approving people that join the group all throughout the day.
Great job by the team to make the judging easier. Perhaps make the scale larger next year?

I look forward to meeting the teams and judging the plans for my third year.
