AI Scalathon

Description

Venture Mechanics' Scalathon events are unique. Unlike a hackathon, where the goal is to develop code over a weekend, in a Scalathon diversely-talented teams try to solve major real-world problems, by crafting venture-scale business plans optimized for scalability, monetization, and investor readiness. Instead of demonstrating your code at the end, you'll be presenting your compelling business plan to a panel of VCs to see which team has come up with the biggest venture-scale business idea. Format Overview Who can be a "Founder" at a Scalathon Absolutely anyone with an idea from a problem to attach can stand up on Friday evening to pitch their idea, and pull together a team of 4-6 diversely talented individuals.‍If you are currently running a very early stage startup as a solopreneur or with no more than one co-founder, you can pitch your own existing startup as a team. Such teams will be judged separately from the "raw concept" teams.‍ Key Activities & Flow DAY 1: FRIDAY — KICKOFF & IDEATION‍ DAY 2: SATURDAY — BUILD & VALIDATE‍ DAY 3: SUNDAY — FINALIZE & PRESENT DETAILS‍ ‍ MOST IMPORTANT Upon registration, participants will receive the Scalathon Guide, which will lend insights on how to best prepare for the event, what the judging rubric will be, and other details.
