Build in real markets. Submit real traction. Compete with proof.

Pitch Track

You have a strong concept and a clear vision for what you want to build. The Pitch Track is for founders who are still pre-launch but have done the work to understand their market, validate their idea, and articulate a compelling business case.

What this track rewards

The Pitch Track rewards founders who demonstrate deep understanding of a real problem, evidence of customer discovery, and the ability to communicate a business idea with clarity and conviction. You do not need a launched product — but you do need to show that your concept is grounded in reality, not just imagination.

What you submit

  • A recorded pitch (3–5 minutes) presenting your business concept
  • A pitch deck (10–15 slides) covering problem, solution, market, business model, and go-to-market plan
  • Evidence of customer discovery — at least 5 documented conversations or surveys with potential customers
  • A one-page executive summary of your venture

What judges look for

  • Clarity of the problem and proposed solution
  • Evidence that you have talked to real potential customers
  • A realistic understanding of the target market
  • A business model that makes logical sense, even if untested
  • Quality and professionalism of the pitch delivery
  • Coachability and willingness to iterate based on feedback
