I emailed all of the mentors just to see what kind of feedback I would get. Some responded and some didn't. About 10 mentors actively corresponded with me throughout the stages of the competition.
Other shifts in my perspective were about realizing that just because my business was about helping people, that did not mean that people would automatically invest in it. I struggled with how to make my idea and product clear so that other people would be able to understand it and see the value in it like I did. In the end, the product has to be valuable. The person investing wants to see that it is effective and that you are credible. My thinking went from a social worker to an entrepreneur.
Thanks
