QØ Cup

Written Summary

In the first round of the QØ Cup, teams will introduce their team and write a sentence about the core problem they’re solving for; tell us about the market their venture is targeting; highlight the key assumptions they’re making; and finally give an overview of the next steps. Once teams submit their first round answers, the QØ Specialists will provide written feedback to help you moving forward.

Video Pitch and Canvas

Teams selected to move on to the second round will be challenged to consider the feedback they received in the first round as they define their solution, talk to potential users/customers, and propose their solution through an informative and compelling 3-minute video. The second round will also consist of a comprehensive and well-thought out adaptation of your proposal to QØ’s Venture Canvas.
