If you are new to case competitions, start with momentum instead of perfection. The goal is to get into your first competition quickly, then improve with each round.
Choose a competition with a clear brief and deadline. If you are not sure, start with a university-hosted case or a beginner-friendly format.
Look for 3 to 4 teammates with complementary strengths (research, synthesis, storytelling, design). Agree on availability and decision-making rules early.
