Judging Criteria
-
Impact
How many small businesses are being impacted by the problem you’re solving, and how is awesome is your solution. -
Innovation
What are you doing that’s new, why would someone pick your app to solve their problem. How do you stand out? -
Quality
Does your app actually work? We don’t expect your app to be bug free, but can our judges figure out how to use your app and have it not crash on them. -
Ease of Use
Does it make sense to the end user. Does it look good?
