• Seed Prize : €200
• First Fans (audience) Prize: €100

Everyone participating as a pitcher will receive an official certificate of participation. Your brilliance deserves recognition!

The Grow Prize is determined by the jury. You can win this prize if you want to take your idea a significant step further than where it currently stands, you have a clear vision of what you want, and you've already gained experience with your business idea.

The Seed Prize is also determined by the jury and can be won if you are just starting out and have come up with an original and potentially feasible idea. You are in the process of taking your first entrepreneurial steps.

During the event, you might find your first big fans in the audience. The audience will vote to decide who will win the First Fans Prize. This can give your idea an extra boost, possibly on top of the Grow or Seed Prize that you could win!

Preferably you are a student from The Hague region (The Hague, Delft, Zoetermeer) at an institution of higher education or recently graduated.

Whether you’re an aspiring entrepreneur, a startup enthusiast, or simply passionate about innovation, this event is your gateway to success.
