Pitch and Prototype Room applicants

Video submission required

Before you fill out the Pitch Room application, record a short video (3 minutes maximum) introducing your idea, project, or company.

How to make it

You don't need special equipment or editing skills — a phone recording of you talking to the camera works fine. Upload it for free to YouTube or Vimeo (as an unlisted or public link) and paste the link in the application form.

What to cover

The problem you're working on
Who experiences this problem
How far along you are right now
The next goal you're trying to achieve

Keep it conversational — imagine explaining your project to someone smart and curious who's never heard of it before. This is not a sales presentation. It is a short, structured chance to explain the idea, the problem it addresses, and what input would help move it forward.
