- Direct access to entrepreneurs who can provide strategic insights and operational support.
- Connections to a broader network of industry professionals, helping founders navigate critical growth challenges.

The event is targeting startups that meet the following criteria:
- Founders under 35 years old.
- A validated idea, minimum viable product (MVP), or initial market traction.
- Preparation to raise capital and openness to entrepreneur-investors.
- Readiness to pitch clearly and confidently in front of an expert audience.
Only six startups will be selected to pitch live, with applications closing on August 30. Successful applicants will be notified by September 5.
