Tonight, @SuperteamMY co-hosted a session with @ryantjhin_ and had @mattytay in da house 🏛️ @colosseum co-founder, spilling how to actually win Colosseum here's what the G said 👇 (if you're in Colosseum and skip this… I don't know why you're still participating. no point, you will lose) 1/ it's not a hackathon. it's a startup competition. no bounties. no weekend side projects. they want the top 0.1% of builders willing to quit their jobs. bring an existing project, pivot mid-way, or start fresh. evolving an idea across hackathons = encouraged. resubmitting the same thing unchanged = not. 2/ the pitch video gets watched FIRST 2 min hard limit. judges want to know who you are before anything else. cover: → who you are + why you're building this → the insight you found → product, user, early demand → what you built + why those features → the big vision technical deep-dive goes in the demo video. get on camera. AI narration is fine if English isn't your first language. 3/ what judges actually look for → deep domain knowledge + a non-obvious insight → a novel angle (don't just clone Polymarket) → ideas that failed before but work NOW → obsession + commitment → real retention > incentive-farmed users the big filter: can this be venture-scale? a great restaurant is a good business. it's not a startup. 4/ the #1 thing founders forget: your first users "we'll tweet about it" is not a plan. best products have growth built in, like Axiom's referrals or FOMO's social features. 5/ after you submit, KEEP BUILDING first interview question is often "what have you done since the hackathon?" thousands of submissions → a few hundred deep reviews → ~150–200 interviews → stack-ranked for winners + investment 6/ quick facts → open to all chains, but the accelerator stays mostly Solana → $250K standard deal, ~10 teams per cohort → solo founders OK, co-founders preferred (there's a matching tool) → non-technical OK if you're good with AI coding tools → tokens aren't a dealbreaker, but they're a one-way door → university + public goods awards open to all chains save this. read it before you submit. 12 Oct is coming fast ⏳ LFG 🇲🇾🔥 Having this while still coworking with @semiii @vesper792 in @SuperteamMY office is crazyy

Something is missing @solana.

Did you guys refine your decks last Saturday? 👀 Now it's time to build the story. With the @colosseum deadline coming close, this Friday we're getting into what makes a pitch actually stick. We'll go through the Pixar storytelling structure, the one liner test, then put your deck or demo to the test. Bring whatever version you have. Let's make it land 👇
