Startup Showcase Introduction
summary
An experiment to reproduce how VCs actually evaluate startups: short on-stage pitches followed by live Q&A with VCs that probes business model, go-to-market plan and revenue assumptions rather than polished slides. Selection prioritizes companies that raise the hardest questions, novel ideas never seen before, or value propositions that can be judged on stage; purely technical proofs that need due diligence are deprioritized. Teams will be approached on the show floor, a few go into the hot seat demos, and the goal is to expose the decision process, not just pick winners.
