We want to ensure that this venture is set up to succeed. The most successful ventures: 1) make an impact, 2) motivate you and 3) stretch you.

2. Have you considered replicating, partnering, or coordinating with any of the existing efforts mentioned above?

3. Tell us what your venture will do. Specifically, what will you do for whom, where, and by when?

4. Are you sure those benefitting from your venture will be receptive to what you propose? How do you know?

5. What demonstrable progress will you be able to make during the course of the Fellowship?

6. What do you think success looks like?

7. What milestones / verifiable metrics will indicate that you're on the right track? How might you measure impact?

8. How can your fellow Fellows help you?

9. As you develop your venture, what areas of support, tools, or pro bono help would be useful in advancing your venture?

STRETCH
