The materials an entrepreneur submits to the Forum are confidential. In some cases, entrepreneurs may request their own confidentiality agreements to be completed prior to the review of business materials.

However, expect the mentors to say what they think, even if they believe that the entrepreneur may not agree with them. We ask them to do this in a constructive way, offering alternative directions and methods. We encourage entrepreneurs to try to listen to the advice in a neutral way, since one can choose how to use that piece of advice later.
