Grand Finale Sweepstakes Official Rules
Do you want to win a LIVE Pitch Deck Facelift session from a pitching expert who has helped underrepresented founders raise over $170 million?
This is your chance! One lucky founder will be selected to appear live via zoom at our Pitch Perfection Finale, where the founder of Ceemo.ai will actively polish their pitch deck! You’ll work directly with Heather Lawver, who has helped founders win some of the biggest pitch competitions on the planet. Heather and her team will actively work on improving your pitch deck, including the design, graphics, iconography, and narrative flow.
One winner & one alternate will be selected from all eligible submissions. Winners will be selected at the sole discretion of Heather Lawver, based on the following criteria:
- A deck that demonstrates common pitch challenges with simple solutions that can be demonstrated to the audience, for everyone’s education & entertainment.
- A brand identity that can be carried throughout the deck, to illustrate the importance of consistency. Your brand and deck don’t need to look perfect already! For instance, if you have a strong logo or primary color, we can use that to illustrate key design principles.
- A deck that isn’t too terribly long, to ensure we can get your deck refreshed within the allotted time.
The judge’s decisions are final. Winners will be notified via email, so keep an eye out for a message from hello@ceemo.ai!
All entries must be submitted via this form no later than 10pm ET on August 21, 2024.
Eligibility Requirements:
All entrants must read & agree to the following:
- I’m a member of the StartOut community, I have RSVP’d for all outstanding events, and will attend at least 2 in total.
- I am the Founder/Co-Founder of my startup and I have the authority to share/alter my pitch deck.
- I understand the Pitch Deck Facelift will take place in front of a live audience and I agree to share our deck publicly. I will remove any details I don’t want publicly available during the event or subsequent recording.
- I agree to absolutely attend the live event finale so I can actively engage in & collaborate with the Pitch Deck Facelift process with Heather. I understand that Heather will be asking me questions live in front of the event audience.
- I understand that the finale has a limited duration and we may not be able to get all the way through my full deck, but I trust that Heather will do her best to get through as much as possible.
- I agree that if I am selected, I will need to review & sign Ceemo’s standard consulting contract for legal/licensing purposes, at no charge. I understand that I am free to choose not to sign, but if so, I will forfeit my spot as the winner or alternate.
- I understand that if I’m chosen as an alternate, I will not receive a full pitch deck facelift session during the live event if the original winner is still available. But for my willingness to serve as an alternate, I will at least receive a free 45-minute private mini-facelift session from Heather & her team.
- I’ll submit my application before 10pm ET on August 21, 2024 in order to be eligible.
