Rules of Engagement

Three minutes to “pitch” your idea or company to the Cyber Shark Tank Judges.  Judges will have three minutes to provide feedback.  A total of six minutes will be allowed.
NOTE:  The three minutes is a “hard stop” for presenters and judges in order to keep the time equal for all participants.  No handouts or slides during presentation allowed due to time constraint.
 
Pitch should include:
  • Business idea and company status (i.e., idea stage, early start up, 7 years in business, etc.) at the minimum (focus on who, what, where, when, and why).
Will provide feedback on:
  • Technology: Do you clearly differentiate yourselves
  • Marketplace: Is it crowded or greenfield
  • Funding opportunities and options: Do you need money to grow?
Entrepreneurs will leave with:
  • Feedback on idea or company
  • Follow-up opportunities (with integrators, technology review, funding discussions, etc.)
Judges will select a winner from each Shark Tank session,. The winners will be given three minutes to make remarks on stage prior to the Luncheon Keynote, in front of the 700+ summit attendees.
