Judging Criteria
Validation Execution & Design
BusinessModel
Q: Can I pitch something I’ve already started on?A: No, but well researched and vetted ideas are always welcome.
FAQ
Q: Can I pitch two ideas?A: No, pick your favorite.
Q: What if my idea isn’t selected?A: Join another team, remember, it’s not about the idea.
Q: Can I still work on my idea if it’s not selected?A: Yes, ONLY IF you have more than two other people on the team.
Q: Can I use any pitch props, slides, etc when pitching?A: Props are ok, but slides are not. Remember it’s short!
Q: What about my intellectual property?A: It’s probably better out than in.
FAQ
Q: Do I have to share equity with my teammates?A: The “Golden Rule” should apply, but it’s up to you. Reach quick verbal agreement up front, and don’t team up with assholes.
Q: Can we use resources outside the room?A: Yes, we encourage you to pull out all stops.
