From week 3, every Friday, the Startups pitch in front of a panel of two to three investors. Each panel listens to approximately 8 Startups and then offers them instant feedback. 

This activity usually takes 3-4 hours. During the first two weeks, Startups work on validating their idea. However, from week 3 the Startups really start showing great progress and their work starts to become particularly interesting for the panelists and investors. 

During Pitch Slams, there will be 2 blocks separated by a 5-minute break. All startup members are expected to attend the session from the beginning of their pitching block. That means, if you pitch during the first block, all team members are expected to stay until the break. If you are in the second block, all the startup members pitching in the block should enter the session after the break and stay until the end of the session. 

Pitch Slam Schedules will be published below weekly by Wednesday. Weekly Pitch content will change and increase as the weeks progress, so remember to carefully read all details and check the feedback sheets.
