Requirements
What to Build
We want to see amazing startups that tackle one of the 17 SDGs. You DO need to come up with a product, but you DON'T need a prototype. We also don't need to see any code - but you're welcome to add any if you feel it'll help your chances.
What to Submit
1.) PNG/JPG/PDF of your product [OPTIONAL]
We accept both physical products and mockups/drawings - but make it clear. Please do not put text-heavy descriptions in your PNG/JPG/PDFs, but do annotate and label where necessary.
2.) Pitch Deck (15 slides maximum)
You will be asked to submit a link, so if you are using programs like Microsoft Powerpoint, please upload it to iCloud/Google Drive - or anything that can produce a safe link. We don't mind what you use, just make sure it's visible.
