Start a Run

Two things before you fill this in.

Your timer does not start now. It starts when you say it does. Once your application is approved you pick your own start time — at least 24 hours and at most 14 days later. It is published in advance and counts down publicly. Nobody's clock starts while they're asleep.

And there are no retroactive submissions. If your venture has already earned money, it does not qualify, in any category, ever.

Shown publicly. Pseudonyms are fine and always have been.

Never shown publicly.

Two-letter country code — DE, US, BR. Country only, shown publicly.

Any% ranks gross revenue, Profit% ranks net profit. Locked once your run starts. Starting with nothing built is the 100% tag below, not a category.

Claim only what's true. Most of this is publicly checkable. 100% means nothing at all existed when the clock started — no code, no domain, no company. It is proved with origin evidence at the finish.

20 more to go

Published unedited. Be specific — vague applications get rejected. At least 20 characters.

What you're starting with. This is an opening balance, not a final figure: every later injection has to be declared too, and the running total is public.

Bootstrap has two conditions, and this answers the first one: outside capital — a loan, an investment, a grant, a credit line — removes the tag straight away, in any amount. Your own money only removes it once the cumulative total reaches $100.

Every social account you own

Platform, handle, follower count — including the ones you won't use. Leaving one out is treated as fraud, not as an oversight, and bans you permanently.

Optional. Your declaration still goes to the board in full. The public sees your timer and your number from day one, but not your name, until your run ends.

Optional, and refusing changes nothing about your run:
