Make the judges' job challenging!

An application is a pitch to the judges in writing, according to their rules and criteria.

YOU CAN'T WRITE A GOOD APPLICATION UNLESS YOU HAVE CLARITY ON YOUR VALUE PROPOSITION.

Please join us for a two-webinar series to make sure that your application has "Perfect Pitch", so your value proposition is "tuned" for the ears of the judges.

Webinar 1: The Application (6 December)

We'll go through each aspect of the application together. You will learn how to address each question asked in a way that will help the judges see the benefit of including your startup in the competition. Questions are encouraged!

Webinar 2: YOUR Application (17 December)

The second webinar will be fully interactive: We will go through selected parts of real applications submitted by volunteers. Do's and don'ts will be discussed, along with suggestions that will benefit everyone in the audience in creating their own applications.
