reconvene to refine and improve their business ideas based on feedback received. Encourage
groups to consider feasibility, scalability, and potential impact during this stage.

Step 4
Groups prepare a brief presentation (2-3 minutes) to pitch their refined business idea to the
entire group. Each group presents their refined business idea, highlighting its social impact,
feasibility, and unique value proposition. Encourage active listening and constructive feedback
from the audience.
