Prepare your submission   

In order to be evaluated, you need to provide two things, a 3 minutes presentation and your codebase. Do not worry if your application is not looking at its best or it is a walking bug! We like ideas ! There is all the time in the world to create a great product!  

Here some inspiration from some great startups ! https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/fake-dont-make-launch-learn-joost-van-de-velde/    

Presentation  

You are to create a 3 minutes presentation, you are not bound by the format, but you should take the following criteria into consideration, as every project will be evaluated against these.   

Judging Criteria    

Mission  It is good to know who you are and what problem you are truing to solve! What does your idea try to do and how does that reflect on sustainability goals (if any are reflected). Should be short and concise and allow the public to understand quickly what it is that you do.  Here some examples:   

• IKEA: To create a better everyday life for the many people. 
• Tesla: To accelerate the world's transition to sustainable energy.  

You can spend some time on this page to better explain why your mission is important, you may also provide the problem statement here or in a different page.   

Solution  

How does your solution reflect your mission statement and the problem ? Give us a slide (or 2) to quickly explain how everything works.   

Novelty  

Does your solution already exist? And if it does, what makes it different ? There is nothing wrong in reinventing the wheel when we talk about creating technological solutions, it is called competition, but why use yours ?   

Feasibility / Business Model 

Does your application have a business model ? How will it make money? Overall, we will access the technical feasibility.   

Why Blockchain  

Most ideas can be created in a centralized way, do you have a reason to use blockchain instead ? Remember that you may be asked this question later on. Although blockchain has many great advantages, it alsohas many drawbacks, such as cost per transaction and speed (when compared to a centralized system).    

Pitch Template

We suggest that you use canva for the presentation, it is simple and it already has the ability to add videos easily.  We prepared a template for you ! Do not edit this one, make a copy first ! https://www.canva.com/design/DAFAFgh6U-0/O8GRoD1u4yVb0NGuyRJEJw/edit?utm_content=DAFAFgh6U-0&utm_campaign=designshare&utm_medium=link2&utm_source=sharebutton    

Submission 

Once ready, submit a link to your github repo (or anywhere you have placed your code) and generate a website (click on share and generate a website link)   

Here is an example https://www.canva.com/design/DAFAFgh6U-0/qpkgRufOKSCw0cxAnI8NVQ/view
