  6. 6

    If you (or your team) partnered with us tomorrow, what would you work on?

    Long answer

    Describe your idea in detail. What problem are you solving? What will you build? We welcome both technical founders and domain experts.

  7. 7

    Why that idea?

    Long answer

    What drives you to work on this? Share the pain point you've experienced, your domain expertise, or why this problem matters to you personally.

  8. 8

    How do you get to $10M ARR in 24 months? Walk us through the plan and the math behind it. Then tell us what gets harder for someone else to catch you at as you grow, and why.

    Long answer

    Show the mechanism, not just the destination. Then name the friction: why might a customer who should buy, not buy — or not buy fast?
