Do I have to pay to participate in this contest?
No, participation in our contest is free! We do not take any additional financial contributions from our competitors.
What will the participation in this contest give me?
Each participant in the contest will receive a chance to be seen. Top 15 startups will get valuable feedback from our judges -top VCs, accelerators, and experts from TOP companies. Winners will get up to 3 free individual consultations with an expert among the jury members, access to a closed community, as well as mentions in the media!
My startup is in idea stage, can I still participate?
Traction is an important criterion in our selection process. However, if you can prove your idea with validated data received while testing your hypotheses, you should try.
If my pitch deck is raw or under-developed and I know I won't win, should I still participate?
We recommend applying even if you are not confident in your deck. We pay much more attention to your ability to grow based on the market fit, product design, and the technology you are leveraging. If we can see this we will help you to improve your pitch and materials.
Will there be certificates, diplomas, or marks for participants and winners?
In addition to the experience, each participant will receive a unique diploma that states you took part in our startup contest. Winners will also receive an electronic badge that can be put on their website or mobile application as a sign of distinction for successfully passing our difficult but certainly interesting startup contest!
