As part of their application the company must submit a one side A4 executive summary, which will be made available to the panel ahead of the online selection days. These summaries need to be punchy and describe the problem you solve, how you solve it, the market you address and the investment you are looking to raise.

At this stage these 1-pagers will NOT go to investors or the press, just the panel (who consist of external panellists). They are expected to keep all material confidential, BUT, if you do get selected, it is expected that your 1-pager will be circulated to all invitees to encourage sign up and will therefore be in the public domain. So, you should plan for this.

Investors will not read anything longer than a one side of A4 per company prior to the event and it is important that they can quickly understand what your company does, so they can determine if they would be interested in speaking to you. Each attendee will also have the option to download a pack containing these one pagers.
