I left round one inspired even though I didnt make it to the finals. The insight into transformational leadership is worth more than a few dollars. I thank you for the experience I have taken a few next steps in my plan - Austin Silla, Round One Contestant This is really great feedback from the judges-- not just for the competition itself, but as a model for me and others when we find ourselves in similar situations that call for evaluation and reflection. Objectively, I think it strikes a good balance between being informative, helpful, concise, practical, and personal. -Kase, VC Mentor
