One-Hour Mentoring Appointment Requests for 2025 HCC Business Plan Competition Contestants

Time has been flying by. Plans are due on May 5th. 

The next five weeks tend to be the most active time for our contestants.   

We deeply thank our advisors who are volunteering time in the 2025 HCC Business Plan Competition. Contestants, you should keep working with your assigned advisor in the competition to make the most of this opportunity and relationship. 

In addition, some competition advisors would like to give advice in their area of expertise (for instance accounting) and also refer the contestant to someone else to give them advice in an area outside of their expertise, such as marketing, or product development or technology, or even a specific industry.   

We also know that some contestants seek more advising hours than others in our competition.

Contestant Teams in the 2025 HCC Business Plan Competition can submit here a request for a one-hour appointment with a mentor in a certain area of expertise or industry. This is above and beyond the time you are spending with the advisor already paired with you in our competition.

Once submitted, we will review your request. Then we will either introduce you to a volunteer mentor we have available through our competition for that 1-hour appointment, or we will have our partner SCORE contact you to set up a one-hour appointment with a SCORE mentor who specializes in the area of your request.  

Your request here is for just one 1-hour appointment.  Additional hours beyond that are subject to that mentor’s availability.  Additional appointments could require another request submission.   

Please fill out the form below so that we can pair you with the best mentor to help you with your request.
