Same rules. Same scoreboard.

Sellathon started in Bangladesh because the country ships products it can't sell. San Francisco has the same disease with better funding. Demo days reward the pitch. Sellathon rewards the invoice.

Verified revenue only

New customers, sourced and closed during the sprint. Stripe or bank proof, or contracts we confirm with your customer.

Quitters fund the winners

A refundable deposit you get back in full for finishing. Drop out and it rolls into the prize pool.

A public leaderboard

Every team's milestones and revenue, visible to everyone for five weeks. Falling behind is public.
