Startup Incinerator – Spec

So you want to be an entrepreneur? That’s awesome! The Startup Incinerator is here to help you build your team and teach you many of the skills you’ll need to get funding and interest in your fledgling company: skills like developing a business model, doing user research, building MVP’s, pitching effectively, and more.

Over the course of 52 hours you build and launch a product, adding members to your team after every round of judging. Losing teams will have to reintegrate into somebody else’s winning idea or else pivot and attempt re-entry in a wildcard round. By the end of the competition, not only will you have a great team and a killer idea, but you will have the opportunity to pitch in front of investors.

A twist on the classic accelerator story, we’re recycling good entrepreneurial talent off of bad ideas, and onto the good ones. Welcome, to Startup incinerator.
