Todo lo que necesitas saber sobre el concurso de lanzamiento de IdeaFame

Get ready for an electrifying showcase of innovation, entrepreneurship, and bold new ideas! The IdeaFame Pitch Competition is a fast-paced, high-energy event where entrepreneurs, innovators, and dreamers have just 60 seconds to share their big idea for a chance to win cash prizes and gain valuable exposure.

How It Works

Contestants have only one minute to deliver their pitch—no slides, no notes, and only one speaker per presentation. Whether you have a groundbreaking startup, a side hustle, or just a big idea you’re passionate about, this is your chance to make an impact.

Judging Criteria

A panel of expert judges will evaluate each pitch based on three key factors:

• Feasibility – How realistic and achievable is the idea
• Originality – Is the concept unique and innovative?
• Stage Presence – How well does the speaker deliver and engage the audience?

Who Can Attend?

Everyone is welcome! Bring your co-founders, friends, family, or even your fiancé—just make sure they sign up in advance.

Who Can Compete?

This event is open to entrepreneurs, creators, and visionaries at any stage—whether you’re just starting or already running a business. If you have an idea worth sharing, this is your moment!
