• ​​No "pitching" - you must demo at least a mockup (e.g. Figma), a local demo of software from your computer, or working deployed software (strongly preferred)

• ​​This is an opportunity to show off what you're actively working on, not a place to pitch ideas

• ​​A small, rotating committee of experienced Cincinnati-area founders will review your submission and let you know if you've been selected to demo
