Dear Entrepreneurs,

On behalf of all of us here at Hult Prize, congratulations! We are so proud of what

you have already accomplished and can’t wait to see you present your idea on
an even bigger stage.
Every year, tens of thousands of young people from colleges and universities
across the world come together through the Hult Prize to think big, be bold, and
work hard towards solving some of humanity’s biggest challenges. We believe in
the power of young people to create positive change in the world.

At Hult Prize, we have spent more than a decade helping students reimagine the
future of business through social entrepreneurship. You are joining a global
community of changemakers, thinking differently about how to achieve our goals
as a global community. Today, our program operates in nearly one hundred
countries and provides opportunities for you to learn valuable skills related to
pitching, creating business plans, marketing, and more.
None of this would be possible if it weren’t for our global staff, our phenomenal
Campus Directors, along with our thousands of students’ workforce. Please join
me in thanking them!

Keep practicing your presentation, and once the summit begins, HAVE FUN talking
about your business!

Thank you for joining us.

Warm regards,

Lori van Dam

About the
Hult Prize

The Hult Prize empowers the next generation to reimagine the future of business.
Through our yearlong social entrepreneurship competition, over 100,000 young
people in 100+ countries work to create high impact startups that address the
annual Call to Action in alignment with the United Nations Sustainable
Development Goals. Finalists pitch their businesses to a panel of expert judges,
and the winning team receives $1M USD in funding to make their idea a reality.

Since it was launched in 2009 by a group of Hult International Business School

students, the Hult Prize has engaged more than 1 million youth worldwide. Many
of our alumni continue to work actively on solutions to the world's most pressing
social issues. The Hult family, founders and owners of EF Education First and
benefactors of the Hult International Business School, support the prize by
providing a US$1M grant to the winning team(s) at a capstone event each
September.

How Does
it Work?

Phase 1: OnCampus Program

The OnCampus Program serves as the first phase of the annual US $1,000,000 Hult
Prize competition. Student volunteers, known as Campus Directors, organize
training programs and community events at their universities focused on this
year's Hult Prize Call to Action.

The goal of every OnCampus Program is to select one winning team, who will
represent their university in the Regional Summits.

Phase 2: Regional Summits

The Regional Summits are hosted by the Hult Prize team in 16 cities around the
world. In 2022, thousands of competitors will pitch their business ideas to panels
of experts in an immersive digital format.

The winning teams from each of these summits will earn a spot at the Global
Accelerator and be one step closer to winning US $1,000,000.

Phase 3: 2nd Chance Round

The 2nd Chance Round is an additional opportunity for teams not selected
as Regional Summit Winners to qualify for the Global Accelerator. The round
provides the Hult Prize global pool of experts with the opportunity to submit
recommendations of the best startups from the Regionals who did not win
their event.

All 2nd Chance Round submissions are reviewed by the Hult Prize team, with
a few being selected each year for a spot at the Global Accelerator.

Phase 4: Global Accelerator

The Global Accelerator is the final step before reaching the finals of the Hult Prize
competition. The teams who make it to this stage are immersed in an intensive,
6-week program which aims to refine and build upon each team's social
venture.

Student entrepreneurs will be introduced to crucial business concepts such as

design thinking and work hand in hand with Hult Prize staff and experts to
take their social venture to the next level. At the conclusion of this stage of the
competition, six teams are selected to move on to the Global Finals.

Phase 5: Global Finals

During the Global Finals in September, six teams pitch their social ventures to a
panel of distinguished judges in New York City with the hopes of being selected
as the next winner of the US $1,000,000 Hult Prize.

The 2022 Global Finals will be held at the Clinton Global Initiative Annual Meeting,
with President Bill Clinton presenting the award and delivering a keynote speech.

Hult Prize 2022 Call to Action

Getting the World

Back to Work

Each year, the Hult Prize

challenges university
students across
the world to solve social
challenges facing
millions of people
globally!

The 2022 Hult Prize Call to Action is about creating meaningful work
opportunities. We want YOU to build a business that will employ at
least 2,000 people by 2024 while creating a positive impact on the
world.

Students are able to get started by accessing the 2022 Hult Prize Call
to Action: A guide on how to solve this year’s Call to Action outlining
the problem, insights & good case practices, participation details

Why this Call to Action?

Why Now?

This year’s Hult Prize Call to Action addresses SDG #8: Decent
Work & Economic Growth because not only have millions have
lost their jobs due to the COVID-19 pandemic but those jobs
are unlikely come back in the same way. The world of work
has experienced a dramatic shift!

With so many people currently struggling, we believe this is the perfect time
for changemakers to get the world back to work.

As of January 2021, job losses stand at 255 million, while upwards of 1.6 billion
informal economy workers have also been significantly affected.

“As is the case for the entire crisis, those living in developing countries and
fragile contexts face the most dramatic risks or have least resilience.”

The World of Work & Covid-19.

With so many people currently out of work, we believe this is the perfect time for
you to rethink meaningful work at scale.

Let's help them bring the world back to work!

Milestones & Resources
This section aims to guide competitors through key milestones during their Hult
Prize journey. As you further understand what’s vital for your startup to succeed, it
will become increasingly important for you to prioritize which milestones you
focus on, adapt, or create on your own. Accumulatively, these set of milestones
shall prepare you for the US$1M pitch and launch your impact startup.

Disclaimer: These recommended milestones aim to only provide you with

guidance and a focus to perform your best in your final pitch. You will not need to
submit these to anyone and will not be disqualified for not meeting them.

Please make sure to click on the hyperlinks to access additional resources.

1. Team Milestone

Full Team
A full team refers to the networks and relationships you (co-founders) and your
business are a part of. Human capital leads to the growth and scalability of your
startup, hence your team’s talents should be diversified to develop dynamic
capability and competitive advantage.

This milestone will help you understand the strengths and weaknesses of your
current team, and what kind of people you should be trying to bring to surround
your team, including potential advisors, employees, customers, local authorities,
investors, university professors, etc.

Back to Home
23 www.hultprize.org

2. Product/Service Milestones

Problem Defined
Find out what is the root cause of the problem. Identify the root cause and fix the
issue at its heart rather than the rippling effects. Then, tell the story about the
scope and scale of the problem you are solving by providing a clear problem
statement using information backed by research.

While defining the problem is just half the story, we want to know deeper
indications, the effect, the other triggers, and the connections between these
variables - a 'Root Cause Analysis', and not resorting to ‘Solution Bias’.

Solution Defined
Solution refers to either your product or service delivered to your target
customer. It shall be challenge aligned, well-thought out to directly solve the
customer’s problem you have identified previously and processed via theory of
change model to match outputs to your impact outcomes.

3. Startup Management Milestones

Company 1-Pager
A company 1-pager, sometimes called a 1-pager investor strategy or a 1-pager
business plan, is a concise snapshot of a startup and its unique value
proposition. An effective one-pager quickly orients the reader to the value of your
business, whether the reader is a customer, investor, potential partner, and more
without further research needed. You may refer to examples for inspiration, but it
is crucial to be creative and have your own signature!

4. Sales and Marketing Milestones

Your Target Market

Discover and explain who your ideal customer is and how many of them there
are in either an underserved or unaddressed market. Conduct a market analysis
to get a sense of the total addressable market size. Market research builds a
sturdy foundation for a business to be built upon, preparing the company for any
threats or weaknesses that may arise as the business grows. From getting to
know your target audience to exploring potential competitors, market research
gives businesses a competitive edge, allowing them to thrive in new
environments.

Marketing: What Is It?

25 www.hultprize.org

Go to Market
A Go-to-Market (GTM) strategy is a focused action plan created to successfully
release or promote a product/service to market, specifying how your startup will
reach its target customers and make the sales.

The purpose of a go-to-market strategy is to make sure that a product launched

reaches the right audience whether it be entering a new market or with a new
customer. It includes effective product positioning so your target customers
understand the value you will be offering.

A solid and comprehensive go-to-market strategy will give you a framework for
measuring your progress along the way, and help you detect and diagnose any
issues that may affect your success before they have the chance to run your
startup into the ground.

Pitch Checklist
This pitch checklist simply aims to provide you with a guide for inspirations. You
are not required to follow this checklist. We recommend using aspects of
the checklist that are applicable to your business!

The Pitch Checklist is a set of ingredients that you can use to create your
“game-changing” US$1M pitch. Below you will find over 10 key areas we suggest
you cover in your pitch to be in a competitive position. Please make sure to click
on the hyperlinks to access additional resources.

Vision & Value Proposition The Target Market / Opportunity

A quick one-liner overview of your
startup and the value that you
provide to your customers.
The Problem
Tell a relatable story when you are
defining the problem. The more
you can make the problem as real
as possible, the more judges will
understand your business and your
goals. We recommend using the 5
Whys model as a foundation to
help you find the root cause of a
problem and identify potential
countermeasures.
Your Solution
This is the star of the pitch.
Describe how customers use your
product and how it addresses the
problems you outlined. Showing is
nearly always better than telling, so
explore using pictures & stories
when you describe your solution. If
you have a prototype, show it.
Explain who your ideal customer is
and how many of them there are
(market size).
How many people are facing the
problem that you outlined and will
be willing to pay for your solution?
Where are they located? If you
answer these questions, then you
have your target market.
Tell the story about the scope and
scale of the problem you are
solving. If you can find the data,
judges will want to know how much
people or businesses currently
spend in the market to get a sense
of the total addressable market
size. How do you position your
company in the market?
Revenue / Business Model
Explain how your solution can
generate income (make it brief).
Also, describe projections of where
your money will come from over
the next few years and how much
per year (this should capture your
main revenue streams and price
model).

Back to Home
27
If you answer how, you will make
money, how much per year and
from which products/services your
revenue slide is good to go. It will
also be key to determine your
positioning in the market: Are you a
premium, high-price offering, or a
budget offering that undercuts
existing solutions on the market?
You can also reference the
competitive landscape here and
discuss how your pricing fits into
the larger market.
Traction / Validation (If applicable)
Judges want to see some proven
aspect of your business model
because that builds trust and
reduces risk. Laying out any
validated milestones or proof that
your solution works to solve the
problem you have identified is
extremely powerful.
What have you accomplished so
far in terms of goals, milestones,
sales, and early adopters? Do you
have a prototype? Have you tested
your prototype? Do you have some
sales/pre-orders or MOUs? State
whatever it is that you have
already accomplished.
To go the extra mile, share the
major next steps you plan on
taking? A product or company
roadmap that outlines key
milestones is helpful here.
Competition
Is there anyone who your market
can turn to for an alternative or
substitute for your product/
service? Identify them and
research their offering.
Back to Home
www.hultprize.org
In essence, know your competitors'
products and their capabilities, the
edge they have in the market, their
core target audience is their go-
to-market approach, and any
major partnerships they have.
Once you determine this and
decide what you will do differently,
you will have a clear differentiation
of your offering versus your
competitor in the marketplace. This
differentiation is what you should
highlight in a pitch as you give an
overview of your competition.
Finance
Present any other relevant financial
data that your target audience will
appreciate. For a Hult Prize Pitch, we
recommend to include unit
Economics (all the cost of making,
distributing and selling 1 unit of the
product), Profit margin per product,
how you plan to spend the $
1,000,000 investment if you win it,
and your financial forecast (How
many units you think you can sell
per year and what that means in
terms of annual revenues, break-
even point and profit projections).
Why You?
Who will be part of your team?
What is unique about each of your
team members and why are they
the right person for your startup?
What sets you apart from your
competition? What do you know
that your competitors don’t? If you
can answer these questions,
judges will be confident in you and
possibly give you your ask.
28
Your Ask
Please clearly state your call to
action. What do you want your
target audience to do after having
listened to your pitch? It may be
the opportunity to advance to the
next phase to access 1 million
dollars? To help you develop your
startup idea into reality?
Investment size for your startup to
scale? Creating impact?
Paint a picture about what will be
achieved for both the beneficiaries
of your product/service and also
judge if you get your ask and make
sure to state your ask confidently.

Back to Home
Welcome Guide
Your Contact
How can the audience reach out
to you? Share this information
on your last slide or verbally at the
end of a pitch. Best use an email
and a phone number.
(Absolutely) Optional: If you
have a ‘Company 1-pager’ to offer
to the audience or judges, this is a
great time, and it can be either
digital or physical version.
A company 1-pager, sometimes
called a one-pager investor
strategy or a one-pager business
plan, is a concise snapshot of a
startup and its unique value
proposition.
An effective one-pager quickly
orients the reader to the value of
your business, whether the reader
is a customer, investor, potential
partner and more without further
research needed.
You may refer to examples for
inspiration, but it is crucial to be
creative and have your own
signature!

Pitch Pro-Tips
The pitch content pro-tips will help you in formulating your pitch script
and your pitch deck.

The Interest Generator / Opening Line

Your first statement should be a hook that acts like a slippery slope that leads
your audience to pay attention to the rest of your pitch. Without it, your pitch will
be average. Here’s an example of a perfect interest generator from the U-Light
pitch in the 2018 Hult Prize Finals. (The lights in the hall were switched off and the
opening line was: This is what 1.2 billion people in the world see when the Sun
goes down.)

Your Main Point

Now that you have everyone’s attention, what is your main point? Ideally, your
interest generator should capture the problem that you are trying to solve. Your
main point should be a brief and succinct presentation of your solution. For
example, U-Light was a cost-effective device that converts human energy into
electricity.

Redundancy
Repetition of the main point and your clear problem statement to make sure
your target audience gets it.

Your Pitch Recipe

This is how your pitch flows and should capture the interest generator, your main
point and the redundancy talking points throughout. A simple pitch recipe for a
business pitch can be:
• The Market problem
• Key issue + Insight
• Solution
• How it works
• Why it works

Your Pitch FAQs

In your notes make sure you record some FAQs you anticipate from your pitch to
make it easy to answer quickly. You can look for pitch feedback from several
people before your final pitch and record all the questions you will be asked as
potential FAQs.

Guidelines for your
'Pitch Recording'
For the Regional Summits stage, you will need to professionally record your pitch
and submit your pitch deck (16:9 ratio slides in PDF or Google Slides format with
sharing access).
Best Practices
1. Find the best internet connection
to ensure HD quality.
2. Use your laptop or PC’s webcam
to record (We recommend
avoiding using your phone’s
front selfie camera).
3. Virtual background: personalize it
by using your startup branded
background or Hult Prize
template.
4. Make sure you look professional
on screen: clear background,
excellent quality camera,
appropriate lighting.
5. Clear audio – No background
noise, use microphone and
headset to ensure best quality.
Back to Home
Welcome Guide
6. Appearance – Dress to
impress. Formal and business
attire dress code is highly
recommended for all online,
hybrid and, in-person events.
7. Keep your pitch no more than
the 4 minutes format. The time
limit is a hard cut off, hence if
your pitch recording exceeds 4
minutes, we will not proceed
with the rest of your pitch. Have
a timer to keep track of time
when recording!
8. Body language – pitch as if you
were doing it live, try standing
up and use gestures.
9. Tone of voice: make sure to
vary your tone to make the
pitch flow and capturing.
10. Review Pitch deck to proof read
the content and style before
submitting.
31
How to record your pitch on Zoom?
You are welcome to use the platform or program of your choice for your pitch
recording. In case you would like to record on Zoom, you may follow these simple
steps.
1. Open your Zoom.
2. Start a Zoom meeting (Make
sure you are the host).
3. Have all your team members
join and do an IT Check with
them all. This involves Camera,
screen sharing feature,
position, lighting, audio,
connection, etc.)
4. Share the screen to show your
pitch deck (In presentation
mode full screen).
5. Click the option ‘Record’ - best
to record on this computer.
6. Confirm you see the recording
indicator on the top left-corner
while recording and then start
the pitch.
Back to Home
www.hultprize.org
7. Once you are done, stop the
recording. After the meeting
has ended, Zoom will
automatically convert the
recording for you to access. If
you have selected 'record to
your computer’ you will have to
navigate the saved file, and if
you have selected record on
the cloud you will have to
download it.
8. Review your recording, make
any tweaks & edits if you wish.
This can be done via any video
editing programs such as
iMovie, Premier Pro, Movie
maker, etc.
9. Rename your pitch recording
file appropriately (check with
your regional summit guidance
for format).
10. Upload to submit your pitch.

Event Guidelines
• Dress code is business attire.
• The Hult Prize Committee will not answer any 'Call to Action' related
questions during preparation.
• Always keep yourself on mute unless invited to speak by the moderator.
• You need to be on time, always, there is no buffer time in the schedule.
• Teams will have 8 minutes to present their solution, broken down into a
4 minutes pitch and a 4 minutes Q&A with judges; be sure to prepare
your presentation accordingly.
• Make sure you have a strong internet connection. Be connected to your
