2) 5 min pitch video, and

3) Their pitch deck.

Once they have been reviewed and the material is deemed investor-ready, we
invite founders to:

 * Pitch accredited, active investors (online) at a demo day for feedback 
 * Build an advisory board with investors, veteran founders, and experts (such
   as the lead designer @Netlfix, PM @Google and Integrated Marketing Lead
   @Instagram) so you can grow your business with their connections/expertise.
