- What is the problem you’re addressing and why is it important? Why is now the best time to address it?
- What is your proposed solution? What makes it innovative and scalable?
- Who will benefit from this solution (specific target population) and where are they located?
- If you are successful, the world will be better off because.
- Upon receiving the Savvy Prize, what are the key milestones you believe you will attain within the next 12 months? How will you know if you’re successful
- What makes you or your team the ideal leader(s) for this project?
