Question 1

Do I have to pitch an idea for an MVP to attend?

Accepted Answer

No, but we encourage it! The more ideas that are brought to the competition, the better. As a participant, you will have the opportunity to explain your idea to all of the participants BEFORE forming teams. Teams will be formed through a voting process. The most popular ideas will be selected.

Question 2

Do I need to have a team formed before the event?

Accepted Answer

No. Everyone who attends the event as an attendee is expected to participate on a team -- but the teams aren’t formed until Monday night. You will have the opportunity to vote on the business idea that you want to work on.

Question 3

Can I submit more than one idea for an MVP?

Of course! Please keep in mind, that all ideas submitted in the competition MUST BE NEW + NOVEL.

Question 4

What if my idea is not chosen for the competition?

Accepted Answer

Everyone who is registered is expected to participate for the Monday night and the full day Tuesday. It’s important that we ensure all participants are committed to the process and can rely on one another. Your expertise is very much valued throughout the entire competition.

Question 5

Can I submit an idea, but join a different team?

Accepted Answer

Question 6

What are we supposed to have accomplished by the end of the 24 hours?

How do I know which participant type I am?

Accepted Answer

Please review the participant descriptions under the different ticket types.

Can I compete with my friends?
