2023 Mentors
Pow Wow Pitch Semi-Finalists are paired with expert volunteer mentors as they prepare to pitch for the Virtual Semi-Finals. Mentors meet with entrepreneurs to provide feedback on their pitches and business ideas and deep dive into areas that can strengthen their business success. Thank you to this year's Mentors, and good luck to all the entrepreneurs!
