-Some very interesting and diverse ideas applied to Startup Contest. Each was on a different development stage. It is difficult to compare such a group and choose the best, since one appreciates different things in each of them. That's somewhat the direction in which discussion among jury headed to – explains Joanna Grandzicka. - Additionaly, each of us evaluated from the perspective of our own experiences and expectations, and the group had its roots in institutions offering various financing options. Ultimately however, we've decided to appreciate on one hand an idea which already active and dynamically developing on the market ( skanuj.pl ) and on the other an idea which is completely on stage „0”, but at the same time is very interesting, nearly absent on the market and offering wide range of opportunities ( RightsKeepe ). I think that it has been a very interesting meeting for the jury and, after talks in Crazy Room, I'm convinced that it was the case for participants as well. I'm especially glad that we've managed to gather a large group of mentors, whose presence was fully appreciated Startup Contest's participants. Throughout a mere week thanks to the coaching and workshops we've offered they fully refined both their presentations and ideas. We will definitely continue to observe how are they doing and if mentors' suggestions and advices have been taken into account – she concludes.
