The Showcase is a big, public event and we’re looking forward to highlighting your generous commitment to the growing tech community. You’ll receive more information in email but please hold the date! The basic agenda is:

1. Mentor/Mock Board Meetings with Founders, start midafternoon
2. Opening Ceremony “The Showcase”
3. Pitch Event (Founders Pitch and VC Panel Judge Startups)
4. Introduction of Leadership
5. The Platinum Sponsor address
6. Networking

During the pitch competition, each pitch is scored by our panel of VC judges. Each pitch will be judged for diversity, team, hyper growth, and product validation: on a scale of 1-5.
**You can rest assured your donation is carefully vetted to make an impact for a founding team that has earned a leading position.**

The number of founders selected for the showcase depends on the quality of the startups during the founder interviewing process. We review hundreds of applicants that apply for each showcase and generally select the top 10 startups to pitch.
