Case Study: Just Start It improves student startup judging and feedback with GroupMap

Judging Software Used to Find the Best Student Start Ups

Just Start It, an innovative student startup program in Perth, Australia, needed an effective judging platform for its finals event to evaluate and provide feedback to ten student teams in real time. They turned to the vendor GroupMap to use its platform as a judging software solution to manage the process seamlessly for nine judges.

GroupMap provided a real-time judging platform that allowed each judge to rate pitches and give feedback instantly from their own devices. The software automatically compiled all scores to rank the teams and generated individual feedback reports for each student startup. The solution made the judging process efficient and collaborative, and the winning team was awarded a $5,000 prize, with the top teams earning a spot to pitch at the national iAwards. An organizer praised GroupMap as a "fantastic collaboration tool" and "The Voice of Collaboration," noting they plan to build it permanently into their program.
