Insider Tips

• Show action, not just ideas We’re not looking for perfect ideas - we’re looking for founders who are already taking steps. Share any early validation, conversations with users, or small experiments you’ve run.
• Be clear on the problem you’re solving A well-defined problem is more important than a polished solution. Clearly explain who you are building for and why this problem matters.
• Be honest about where you are You don’t need to impress us with buzzwords. Be transparent about your stage, challenges, and what you want to learn - this helps us understand how we can best support you.
