This isn't your typical VC pitch. Share a stage with top comedians, business leaders, and entertainers in front of 1,500 people in a Broadway theater storytelling show.
Tell your startup's story
The focus is up to you: share why your startup matters, what challenges you overcame, or something else. Just make it compelling to a general audience.
Make a Gamma deck
Short, sharp, and show-stopping. Let your visuals do the heavy lifting.
Present your gamma in a 7–10 min video
We want to see how you'd tell your story onstage. Upload a video of your talk as part of your application.
Judging criteria
Problem & idea
How meaningful is the problem or opportunity your startup is tackling? How compelling is the proposed solution?
Originality
How distinctive, fresh, or unexpected is the story of your startup? This includes both the idea and the way you choose to tell its story.
Use of Gamma
How effectively do you use Gamma to tell your story? Structure, storytelling approach, and visual craft all count.
Live delivery
How well do you present the story of your startup — on video in round one, and in person if selected as a finalist?
