This document provides information about the final presentations for an event, including the judges and their backgrounds, the judging criteria of validation, execution and design, and business model. It also outlines how the pitching will work, with teams getting 6 minutes to pitch followed by 3 minutes of Q&A, and the next team should be ready during that time.
