<span id="docs-internal-guid-efaf396b-e769-2db9-cf00-c0dc3b4a6560"><span style="font-size: 11pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The last day is when teams start to finalize their business plan model models and begin preparing for their final 5-minute pitchpitches. The beginning of the day is the time for the team to gather any more information that they need in order to build a minimum viable product. Mentors will also be there to help them with the pitch decks and presentations. This is usually the most stressful day in the 3-day events, as teams are crunched on time.</span></span>

These judges are big-profile business professionals, industry experts, investors, etc. For each team, after the 5-minute pitch, the question round follows. The jury panel then picks the winning teams as well as giving critical feedback for the startup teams, so they can improve in the future. Besides the traditional first-second-third award format, some teams may win other awards such as a crowd-favorite award.</span>
