How you can get involved:
We are currently recruiting qualified business leaders, agricultural leaders, and investors to get involved as mentors, presenters, and venture judges. We are also seeking companies that would like to sponsor naming rights to a reception, or a grant prize to a judge-selected entrepreneur. For either of these options, please email Amanda, amanda.gant@wri.org. If you know of any great land restoration entrepreneurs, you can also encourage them to apply here.
