In addition, I didn't find the option to pay for the application fee and I'm worried that my application was not submitted at all. Could someone please clarify for me? Thank you! Hello,

I also had trouble uploading our pitch video last night, but I sent a link and copy of the video to the askpitch@women2.org – is that still acceptable?

In addition, I didn’t find the option to pay for the application fee and I’m worried that my application was not submitted at all. Could someone please clarify for me?

Thank you!

@ Daisy –

Sorry I need to clarify my comment “The deal document is not required”, I had confused it with an earlier inquiry which asked about “What is the deal document that is required?” — Gust refers to all documents as deal documents so I apologize for the bad UI and user experience on their platform, we will reevaluate our choice of application software next year.

Your instructions say the deal documents and all documents are not required - we have ours (pitch deck, financials, biz plan, etc.) in the gust form, but disabled them. Is this the correct way to submit for the contest? Hi.

All questions from Women 2.0 are required, or else you can't save and submit. The deal document is not required. The term "deal documents" refers to all documents in your Gust application. For previous winners, you can check out previous PITCH conference pages at the top where it says "Check out previous PITCH events: 2010, 2009, 2008, 2007." - Each year has been hyperlinked and you can access previous years' events and view the proceedings including the winners. @Bridget - Will do, it seems the application platform has become more complicated over the years and we will evaluate before opening next year's competition with the same platform. Thanks for the input! @John - Sorry to hear about that.. @Robin - Hm that is something to ponder. I think the bigger question would be if your venture is a high-growth venture. If so, you should definitely apply - don't let anyone or anything stop you! @Katrina - Apply today! @Toni –

My sister and I, along with my boyfriend have started a business to help teens succeed. Our ages are 12, 15 and 17. None of us are degreed technicians - yet - but we are studying programming, calculus etc. We have published books available on Amazon. "Secrets to Your FairyTale Romance ~ For Teens" And "Little Love Stories". Our website is www.RomanceAnswers.com. We love the business model type of planning that you advocate. Maybe we will be able to enter in a future contest. I sure wish I could enter this contest. My sister and I, along with my boyfriend have started a business to help teens succeed.

It is not clear if the napkin is all you require for the business plan or if you want our full business plan included on the application form on Gust? Please let me know... is there a FAQ for this event? Who are the previous winners? What is the prize? Thank you and if selected, I look forward to the event...
