YouNoodle invites applications for the Girls in Tech Startup Challenge in 2022.
The Girls in Tech Startup Challenge has helped many female founders access funding, mentorship, and media exposure over the last 8 years. And perhaps more importantly – it’s given them the nudge they needed to properly ideate, map out, and prepare their product for launch to market!
Worth of Award
- 1st Place: $20,000
- 2nd Place: $10,000
- 3rd Place: $5,000
Finalists get cash prizes to help them grow and launch the business, while all submissions benefit from exposure to the VC community and mentoring.
Eligibility
- Individual participants must be at least 18 years old.
- All teams must have at least one female founder.
- All startups must be younger than 24 months.
- The startup must have a software or hardware product.
- The startup cannot have received more than 2M in funding.
How to Apply
Submit your project to the Girls in Tech YouNoodle before the deadline and complete the submission form questionnaire. Submissions (including both a video pitch and pitch deck) can be edited until the deadline.
Upload a short pitch deck video presentation as a YouTube link on your YouNoodle application. The video should be a maximum of 5 minutes long and include the following details:
- Explain the problem that you are solving and how consumers will benefit from your solution. Use a story to paint the picture so investors can understand your business.
- Explain your vision and the mission of your company. Keep it short and straight to the point.
- Highlight key team member expertise and how these will contribute to the startup.
- Talk about any growth or milestones you have achieved so far and how a new funding round might expedite that growth.
- Talk about how the business works or will work, how the business makes or will make money, and if you have a marketing strategy.
- Who are your competitors and what makes you better than them?
