The questions in the Company & Candidate Overview Sections of the Digital Profile are designed to gather information from the entrepreneur, which will be helpful in putting together the full first page narrative, written by YOU!
The intention is that you take the information imputed by the entrepreneur and craft the typical Endeavor first-page structure that flows naturally and coherently and follows the 5-paragraph template: (1) Overview, (2) Entrepreneur background, (3) Company background, (4) Value proposition + inflection point, and (5) Growth plan and ambitions.
