For the 20 experienced mentors that dedicated their time and knowledge to help the teams, the increase in diversity was refreshing. Mentors said the teams presented challenging cases, some confronting, and others totally out of the box. The high calibre judges included Chip Dawson, Melissa Clark-Reynolds, Graham Gaylard, and Robett Hollis. The Judges deliberated and reviewed 15 team submissions in under three hours. The submissions included excecutive summaries, business models, and financial plans. The judges then decided on the top 6 teams to pitch at the Wintec Innes48 Closing Ceremony. The judges were looking for how well the teams detailed the viability of their business, if they had an innovative approach to a customer’s problem, sustainable revenue streams, and evidence of market validation. Head Judge Graham Gaylard shared some valuable pieces of advice to teams at the Closing Ceremony. “Focus on the customer and the problem you are solving, and remember to keep the essence of innnovation alive” said Gaylard. The Opening and Closing Ceremonies were well attended by over 300 guests where they heard from world-class speakers including Yoseph Ayele of KiwiConnect, Tim Alpe, Cofounder of The Jucy Group, and the youngest speaker, Ayla Hutchinson, Inventor of the Kindling Cracker. The event could not have taken place without the support and backing of sponsors such as Platinum sponsor Waikato Institute of Technology and Gold sponsor Gallagher, plus many more cash and in-kind sponsors. “Wintec recognises the importance of new ideas, business innovation and entrepreneurship, and the value it has in strengthening New Zealand’s social and economic growth, which is why we took the major sponsorship role this year.” Wintec’s director, products and planning, Warwick Pitts.
