Application Tips
Clear beats polished.
You don't need a perfect pitch. These four habits help us understand your venture quickly.
Lead with evidence
Numbers, names and dates say more than adjectives. Tell us what has actually happened.
Start with the problem
Put the problem before the product. Who has it, and how do they deal with it today?
Say what's in the way
Tell us what's holding you back right now. That's where we can help most.
Be honest about today
Early-stage is who we're for. Tell us where you are today, not where you think you should be.
