From Idea Submission to Investor Demo Day

Startup pitch events require strict screening: - **Round 1 (Executive Summary)**: Founders submit pitch decks and team profiles during initial registration. - **Round 2 (Shortlisting)**: Core committee shortlists top 20 teams who receive confirmed VIP Founder Passes. - **Final Round**: Live 5-minute pitch followed by 3 minutes of Q&A with angel investors and VC partners.

Using structured registration questionnaires directly on your event page ensures pitch materials are organized by category (Fintech, EdTech, Climate, AI) without digging through cluttered email inboxes.
