Judging criteria? Uniqueness of Idea. How big the market is. How big a problem can it solve? How feasible it is technically. Number of likes/comments on ideas will decide their chances of coming in top 10 which will be sent to our judges and they will select the top 5. But wait what do you do if you don’t have an idea right now? We have a prize of 1k for 5 different people who contribute in critical analysis of these ideas (in replies to their comments). You have to tell every idea what is good about it and what isn’t or can be improved. So commenting and engaging will also let you be a part of pitchers. **Format to submit-** Name of the proposed startup- Two to three words max. Problem- 1-2 lines. Under 30 words. Solution - 3-4 lines. Under 100 words. Competition- Name 1 to 5 companies that already exist (if they do). Progress till now (If any)- 1-2 lines with metrics.
