Crossroads Idea Competition Application

Every great business starts with a great idea. Before there’s a minimum viable product, before customers and revenue, before investors, there’s a spark of innovation, a flash of insight, a moment of inspiration.

The Crossroads Idea Competition is your chance to showcase that idea and get feedback from expert judges. After that, you can take your idea into a pre-accelerator like B-Start, then into Mill Cohorts, then on to gBETA! Who knows, maybe you’ll even find yourself pitching at Crossroads Pitch Competition someday.

Crossroads Idea Competition is open to anyone in the Velocities region (Bloomington, Columbus, and surrounds). Submit an exec summary by December 6. Tell us:

What problem are you solving?
For what customer?
What evidence do you have of need?
What’s your solution?
How will you earn revenue?

We’ll let you know by December 8 whether you’re in for Demo Day on December 15. If so, you’ll give a 5-minute pitch on Zoom. This will be shorter than a traditional pitch: we’re not going to pepper you with questions, because after all, it’s just an idea at this point!
