COACH
As a Coach, your role is to work with students in their class as you help them learn material you
present through lectures and activities. You will choose the lesson that aligns with your area of
business expertise, e.g. marketing, finance, sales. A lesson with presentations, student
activities, and curated resources will be provided to you. If you wish, you may replace the
professional examples used in the lesson with your experiences. However, we ask you to use
the lesson’s content. The student teams need to work in a disciplined manner, starting with
finding a problem to solve at the beginning of the academic year to investor pitch at the end of
the year. Work closely with your teacher to ensure you have access to the materials needed for
the days you are in class.

MENTOR
As a mentor, your role is to facilitate learning, which is different than directly teaching. Students
will look to you for answers, but what they really need is help learning how to find the answers
themselves. In general, mentors will meet with their student teams once a week for at least an
hour. The energy and effort will increase before key milestones such as the Minimum Viable
Product Pitch near the academic year’s mid point and at the year’s end for Investor Pitch.

BOARD OF ADVISORS MEMBER (aka “Sharks”)
The Board of Directors/Advisors is a group of volunteer business professionals and
entrepreneurs who offer strategic direction to student teams. These volunteers will be in the
classroom two times in the school year: MVP Pitch and Final Pitch (Academic and Live
competition).

MONETARY DONATION
