Simone Spence, the driving force behind this competition, boasts an impressive track record in pitch competitions, securing victories in nearly every contest she's entered. With experience spanning multiple domains and a spot in one of the world's top three tech accelerators, Techstars, Simone successfully raised over $1 million in her first funding round. Her journey taught her that having the right social network or a champion who can introduce you to people within the network makes raising capital significantly easier.

By participating, founders gain access to valuable feedback, mentorship, investor connections, and a chance to win a $10,000 cash prize that can enhance credibility and attract further investor and media attention.
