Participants who submit a valid Round 1 entry receive a verifiable certificate, whether or not they advance to Round 2.

Bold Ideas
Pitch anything from a campus tool to a planet-scale product.
Real Builds
Shortlisted teams build and submit a working prototype in Round 2.
Real Stakes

Round 2: Build

Shortlisted teams build a working prototype and submit a recorded pitch video, source repository, and optional live demo link.
