// Prime Time Is Our Time
This is when it gets really good
It’s when our global community discovers the kinds of new ideas we can only get when people from around the world come together online.
It’s opportunities, answers, and beginnings.
It’s six pitch competitions over two rounds with city winners and challengers representing five regions of the world, and one founder emerging as our global champion.
Join our livestreams to see our top founders compete!
And it’s all decided by YOUR VOTES!
