Why a business would bother
The people you need later are in school now
Every young founder who gets taken seriously by an experienced businessperson is more likely to build something here, work here, and stay here. That's the whole argument.
Meet people early
Judging and mentoring puts you in front of motivated young people years before they choose an employer.
Give your team something real
Mentoring and volunteering work better than another engagement survey.
Keep talent local
People who build something here tend to stay here.
For organizations
Help people in your community build something that matters
