4. 14. ENTREPRENEURS DASHBOARD PAGE: Unchanged for N1. However, this is the immediate
destination after sign-up. Signposting needs to be better for O1. Remove the entrepreneur
profile pages. Profile is now entirely venture (not entrepreneur) related.
15. IDEA PROFILE CREATION PAGES: UI remains same however new fields are added to the first
tab. Powerpoint slider are added to the pitch tab. Multiple documents should be
uploadable to further collateral doc upload tab. Remove the exec summary tab.
16. AMALGAMATED VENTURE DASHBOARD: For N1 the Dashboard page and the Idea upload
pages are to be amalgamated into a single destination page from which the venture can
manage its profile.
17. ENTREPRENEUR PAYMENT PAGES: Submission and payment pages for both the awards and
funding are to be live for O1. However, only a basic set of functions will be complete giving
entrepreneur access to bronze (free) and silver ($450) only. Bronze will have 30 day access.
Silver will have 120 day access, free access to awards and a scored modified NVT
assessment (part of the new fields) which will provide 50% of the score towards the
ranking algorithm and therefore significantly better visibility to investors. Gold access will
only be activated in N1 as will the further options e.g., shareability, promoted status and
the Host Sense-Check seal.
