About the entrepreneurship challenge track
The entrepreneurship challenge track is 1:1 Activity Mentoring until your venture pitch, business plan, and challenge submission package is finished—not a lecture series. Competition calendars change each season. Check the host organization’s official site for registration windows, submission deadlines, and eligibility rules before you commit to a timeline.
Who should enter
High school and early-college students entering startup and social-innovation challenges (e.g., Diamond Challenge, Hult Prize, Conrad, Blue Ocean).
What Actify helps you produce
Through Match → Plan → Build → Submit, you complete venture pitch, business plan, and challenge submission package aligned to official rules and judging criteria—from outline through submission-ready draft.
Mentor background categories
We match from the homepage mentor categories: Strategy and growth consulting, Product, operations, and consumer growth. Specific mentor profiles are shared after you apply and we confirm fit.
Timeline
Entrepreneurship challenges often run spring-through-fall deadlines with team formation and pitch rounds. Competition calendars change each season. Check the host organization’s official site for registration windows, submission deadlines, and eligibility rules before you commit to a timeline.
Coaching vs internship placement
