Weeks of preparations, 57 participants, 18 teams, 21 mentors and liters of coffee - second edition of Lion’s Den Risk Modelling Challenge is over! There were as many as 87 keen to take part in the challenge, yet only 57 solved a statistical analysis assignment correctly. Participants who qualified for the second stage, were invited for the event.
On 30 May all attendees met at HubHub in Warsaw to face an 8-hour challenge. Their task was to prepare a credit risk analysis based on given banking, financial and macroeconomic data. On the second day, the participants had a chance to brush up on their auto presentation and body language skills during dedicated workshops. To their help came expert coaches from ING Tech Poland, ING Bank Śląski as well as business & startup communities.
Solutions that teams sent to our experts on the first day helped to choose top 6 groups. The finalists pitched their presentations in front of our jury >>. The judges were impressed by the solutions, analytical skills and engagement of all finalists. However, to win one of the three main prizes, it wasn’t enough to come off well. The teams had to come up with answers for many inquisitive questions, present logic behind calculations and support reasons for the conducted analysis. The jury assessed presentations on the basis of their innovativeness, attractiveness, business potential, accordance with the main topic, as well as presentation form and overall impression.
At 4 pm the winners were announced:
Once again, congratulations to all winners and participants! You were amazing!
We’re coming back from Warsaw with new ideas, positive energy and hope for future editions!
