You can click here to make a copy of the judging form that you’ll be using during the event to take notes and score the teams. We will not collect these forms (see instructions on the form).

Here is a SHARED FOLDER {linked} with pitch decks and other key event information. Please take a look at the startup pitch decks prior to arriving {Friday/Saturday} at 8:30AM in our Main VCIC Zoom Room {linked}. If you would like to see how the day will work at the event, see VCIC-What It’s Like for Judges, but don’t worry, we’ll let you know where you need to be and what you need to do throughout the day.

In the meantime, please do not hesitate to email me if you have ANY questions.

Best,
