Who Should Apply

Early ideas to real ventures

You do not need a finished company. Apply if you have a strong concept, an early MVP, a family business expansion idea, or a service that solves a real problem for a clear audience.

What To Prepare

Clear problem, clear solution

The strongest submissions explain who the customer is, what pain point exists, why your solution is credible, and why this idea matters now.

What Happens Next

Review and pitch selection

The SBC team will review submissions, shortlist promising ideas, and contact selected applicants with next-step instructions before the live event.

What we want to learn

This form is meant to help the review team quickly understand the strength of your idea and your readiness to pitch it live.

  • What problem are you solving?
  • Who is the customer or audience?
  • Why is your approach different or compelling?
  • What kind of traction, testing, or validation do you already have?
  • Are you prepared to pitch this at the convention if selected?

Submit your idea

Complete the form below and the SBC team will review your submission.

Optional. Upload photos, screenshots, or short videos that help explain your idea.
