The Prize Has A Price. Opportunity Does Not.
We can put a value on software credits, gifts and the prize pool.
We cannot put a value on meeting the right investor, finding the right partner, learning something that changes your strategy or getting your venture seen by someone who decides to help.
That is the bigger opportunity behind VC26.
