As for as event is concerned, it goes something like this: On Friday evening, everyone with a business idea gets the chance to deliver a 60-90 second pitch in front of the crowd; the ideas are then voted on and a number of teams are formed organically around the ideas selected. The teams will spend the next day and a half working intensely, with the goal of having a working prototype, demo, wireframe, or investor pitch of the idea ready for presentation to a panel of investors and experienced entrepreneurs on Sunday afternoon. The panel selects the winning team(s), who will receive cash or in-kind prizes in the form of co-working space, further mentorship opportunities, and more.
