- Pitch decks are due January 30th, 2022 and will be judged by ICONIQ Growth Investment Team members

- All entrants will be invited to spectate and participate in programming during the Final Competition Day

- Presentations will be 8 minutes long and will receive live feedback from the ICONIQ judging panel
- ICONIQ Growth and Harvard Undergraduate Capital Partners will host additional Competition Day Programming including fireside chats with members of the ICONIQ Growth team

- In the email, please list each team member’s name, university and email address
- Please attach the pitch deck as a .pdf file
- Please remember to properly cite the sources your team uses throughout the pitch
- Teams are allowed to include an appendix in addition to the 6-8 pages of their deck. Please keep in mind that any appendix slides should be truly value-add and supporting material, rather than extra slides to extend the main deck
- With regard to the <$7B market cap limit: as long as the company market cap was <$7B at the time of selection, it is eligible. Please clearly mark the date of selection
- You may send an additional file along with your pitch deck if your team builds a model or any other supporting analysis
- Your team’s pitch submission email to igspc@iconiqcapital.com by January 30th, 2022 will also function as team registration. IGSPC will confirm receipt of each team’s pitch deck by email response and teams will be registered concurrently
