30 days. One scoreboard: traction.
An investment competition built around momentum, not polish. Run by Origin House.
By day 30: are people pulling on it?
Tech founders and Main Street operators compete in the same pool and get judged the same way. Anything that proves the market is leaning in counts: revenue, signed LOIs, pilots, design partners, active users.
The scoreboard weighs all of it together.
$100K into each of the two top teams on the board. $200K total, deployed by Origin House.

The Start
Pick the business, name the customer, write down what traction looks like by day 30. By Friday, everyone's on record.
The Build
Weekly milestones: paying customer, signed LOI, live product. Mornings open with a clinic: attorneys, marketers, investors, operators, all in the room.
Demo Day
VCs, angels, and the wider Origin House network show up in person. Where you land on the board comes down to revenue, deals, pilots, and users, not the slides.
