About the Event

The event is divided into two rounds: the Necessities round and the Pitcher round. During the Necessities round, teams create a 4-slide pitch deck for their cloud kitchen idea, covering the problem statement, solution, unique selling proposition, and execution details. Selected teams proceed to the Pitcher round, where they present their execution plan for utilizing the initial capital fund. All team members must be present during the presentation, which lasts 12 minutes, followed by a 3-minute Q&A session. The slide deck should include a company introduction, offerings, the virtual company set up with an initial investment, and plans for managing various aspects of the business. The judge’s decision is final and non-negotiable, determining the outcome of the event.
