The Business Section 💼

The business section of the Endeavor profile is the heart of the profile. This section provides the reader with all the necessary data and information that allows them to clearly understand what the company offers, how it offers this, who it offers this to, and how well it offers this. The information in this sections enables Panelists to accurately evaluate the strengths and health of a candidate company.

This is the base line from which a Panelist builds their understanding of a candidate. This is where panels fall apart, when Panelists don’t understand what the business does - ‘it took me 40 minutes to understand what you’re offering’. Ensure that this section is accurate and well-explained so this doesn’t happen.

It is the least abstract, least up to interpretation, most direct, and facts-based section of the profile.
