Competitions
The same duels, in a seeded knockout bracket. Win every round and the title is yours for good.
No competitions are running right now
New competitions are announced here first. Until then, every duel you win builds the Founder Rating that seeds you when one opens.
How a competition runs
- 1
Apply
Founders apply from their profile, or with a startup they founded. Organisers review every application.
- 2
Get seeded
Accepted entrants are seeded into a knockout bracket: organisers' seeds first, then Founder Rating.
- 3
Win matches
Each match is a public, rated duel. Voters (and judges, where used) decide who advances.
- 4
Be crowned
The last one standing is champion and earns the Champion achievement for good.
Seeding, ties, judging and disputes are covered in the competition rules.
Run one for your community
Accelerators, universities and founder groups can run a judged bracket with public voting and a permanent results record.
