At FIST our start up pitch competition takes place in the ring.  There are two rounds and at the end of the day someone is winning the championship belt. When the bell rings, the light come on and there is nowhere to hide.
Ding Ding!

Round 1 – Its you vs two other opponents.  Three start-ups will be accepted per category (FAN, ATHLETE & GAMER).  Each having 5 minutes to present followed by 5 min. Q/A in their respective tracks in the morning session.  A winner in each track will be selected (announced at lunch) to move on to Round 2 (afternoon session).

Round 2 – We take the winners from the FAN, ATHLETE and GAMER tracks to come together for a final round.  Each start-up is given 5 minutes to present followed by 5 min. Q/A. At least one judge from each of the three tracks will participate in the final round.
