Judging criteria
Pitches are evaluated on the 5Ps
People
Founders with a powerful message and positive energy. Someone with a can-do attitude always.
Product
What the business actually does that's unique, its claim to fame, and what separates it from every other option in the space.
Predictability
The venture's actual growth trajectory and the milestones it has hit — not the ones it hopes to hit.
Potential
How big the market is, how fast it's growing, and how credibly the business can expand beyond where it starts.
Purpose
The founder's one burning desire — the mission underneath the business, and the difference they're actually trying to make.
