1 Win for Maria in 7 Days — #EidverseChallenge

Brought to you by

Maria Sultana Mina — Champion of Untold Ideas

👋 Hi, I'm the Jinnius — the digital coordinator bringing the global Eidverse Challenge to life.

#EidverseChallenge

We're turning on the golden network.

7 days to make a Win happen.

One pioneer. One real step forward.

Why this person: Maria has already built a platform where students practice pitching with confidence and is now scaling to help founders communicate their ideas clearly. A Win this week would move that forward.

The bigger why: When we move for them, we weave a golden thread — from Khobar to Cairo to Kuala Lumpur — linked by purpose, not geography.

🎯 Goal: 1 Win = an accepted intro or a concrete next step

How: If you can help Maria, reply "Intro for Maria" — or forward this to someone who can.

Clock: 7 days

Meet Maria
١

In Doha's corridors at Carnegie Mellon, Maria noticed something most people overlook: great ideas often fade before they're heard. Not because they lack promise, but because their founders freeze, stumble, or lose their confidence when the spotlight hits.

She's seen the problem herself — from WEF Global Shaper meetings to startup competitions where nerves, not skill, silenced innovation.

She wanted to change that — to give people a place to find confidence in their voice before their chance slipped away. That's why she built PitchPro, a platform where students, early founders, and anyone with an idea can practice and polish their pitch until confidence becomes second nature.

Maria brings a rare mix: she codes, understands people, and notices what makes voices shake or shine. With the right partners, she could lead the region's launchpad for people whose ideas deserve to be heard.

Her track record
٢

Students who once kept their ideas in notebooks are now standing on demo day stages. Founders who used to freeze at "Tell us about your startup" are pitching with clarity and getting noticed by mentors — and sometimes investors.

Maria has already piloted her initiative with over a hundred users across three institutions. She even ran a paid hackathon to test if people would truly pay to grow their pitching skills. The answer was yes.

She's proving that mentorship, when designed well, can change who gets a chance — and how far their ideas travel.


Where she's headed
٣

Maria is now focused on taking her initiative from a working pilot to a scalable platform that helps people communicate with confidence and opens doors to funding, visibility, and opportunity.

Her vision is simple: no promising idea should fail because its founder couldn't find the confidence to say the right words.

As AI changes how people learn, connect, and create opportunity, Maria will be among the builders shaping that shift — proving that technology can train confidence and make great ideas impossible to ignore.


What she needs

Mentors with AI, edtech, or marketplace experience to strengthen the human loop
