        strategy to sort and prioritize ideas submitted by participants and to select idea leads.
      - Several components proved essential to the effective execution of our virtual idea blitz.
        
        First, the
        
        kickoff meeting was of utmost importance in aligning and orienting diverse stakeholders to the
        
        shared objectives of the event.
        
        Second, organizers stressed outcomes and goals heavily and included a set of five minimal goals:
        
        (1) to do some immediate good by alleviating feelings of helplessness; (2) to socialize with, work
        
        with, and develop groups of new colleagues, friends, and mentors (i.e., to reduce the impact of
        
        social distancing); (3) to learn some entrepreneurial tools and techniques from some of the
        
        world’s best faculty in the discipline; (4) to understand what an idea blitz is and to develop an
        
        idea to MVP in 2 days; and (5) to develop a video startup pitch by Sunday with a group of highly
        
        motivated people.

        Against the challenging backdrop of a global pandemic, the COVID-19 Virtual Idea Blitz was able to draw on the prosocial
        13motives of participants from disparate groups with complementary skills.
        
        The lockdowns and stay-at-home orders created for some participants the flexibility to dedicate a short, concentrated burst of time that would ordinarily not have been available.
        
        They also eliminated the prospect of meeting in person and allowed for a collective embracing of a shared virtual mindset that may not have been possible if the event had been organized under previous conditions.
