Meghan Norvell of ABQari Wellness, winner of the vSpring Capital Prize, reflects on her access to mentors and judges who offered valuable support and feedback:
Working on the business plan competition was a wonderful experience. The mentors who gave
us advice during the preparation process were candid and helped us to craft a better plan.
The judges, who represented a wide range of professionals in the community, were also very
forthright, and while they often struck directly at the biggest weaknesses in our plan and
strategy, they also gave us very helpful tips for how to improve our plan when taking it to
investors again. The best part for me was the interaction with the mentors and judges through
the whole experience, and it was thrilling to be recognized with a prize in the end.
