Innova.Space is running the Founding 100 — the first in-app pitch battle for early-stage founders. 100 spots, three rounds, $3,000 prize pool for the final three. 

THE FORMAT

All 100 founders are placed in random rooms of 5. You pitch in 60 seconds — no slides, just your voice and product. Peers rank each other on forced 1–5 scoring (no ties, no all-fives). Top score from each room advances. Round 2: the 20 winners reshuffled into 4 new rooms. Round 3: the final 4 pitch live in front of investors and an audience. 1st takes $1,500, 2nd takes $1,000, 3rd takes $500.

THE POINT

Most founders only practice pitching when it matters — in front of real investors. This gives you a structured, peer-first environment to sharpen your story before that conversation happens.
