The participants get briefed on the event structure as well as how to build, grow, and think like a startup. The participants then share their ideas in a rapid-fire pitch session. Afterward, they vote on the best or most feasible ideas. At this point, participants join others to form teams based on the most voted for ideas.
The teams are formed and embark on the longest day of the event. The teams are off to work to build their business models with top-tier mentors by their side sharing their expertise. On this day teams get their idea validated by real customers and start to see their idea come to life.
The teams that made it through day 2 jump into full prep mode as they race to finish and perfect their pitches. On this day the main event happens! Final Pitches. The teams pitch their ideas to a panel of top leaders in the community. The judges provide the participants feedback and then choose a winner.
