Judging Criteria
-
Radical Idea
Your idea should feel crazy and bold — the kind of thing that sounds impossible… until it works. -
Technical Execution
We’ll look under the hood. Bonus points if you ship something real — repo on GitHub, deployed web app, or TestFlight / App Store build. -
Demo & Virality
Show, don’t tell. Your demo should be engaging, instantly clear, and the kind of thing people *want to share* on Twitter/X.
