Zero to Launch
Submit your project
Deadline: 12:00 PM MST, Sunday October 18, 2026. No late submissions.
One submission per team, filed from your Ship AI account. Ten minutes if your numbers are ready — so read this Friday, not at 11:50 on Sunday.
You'll need an account — an email address and a six-digit code, no password. Draft the entry whenever you like; any team member can edit it up to the deadline. Stuck? Post in the Discord before the deadline, not after.
What the form asks for
Project name
What it's called.
Team
One to four people, one team per person. Created once from your account — whoever starts it gets an invite code to send round, and every member can edit the entry.
Track and category
B2C or B2B, and which of the four categories you're entering. One per team — win one and you're out of the running for the others.
Live URLrequired
Publicly reachable, working, not behind a login. The one field with no substitute: an entry without a live URL cannot place.
What it does
Two or three sentences. What it is and who it's for.
What you launched this weekend
The launch itself — where, to whom, when. Link the post, the listing, the email, the thread.
Receiptsrequired
Numbers with evidence you can put on screen Sunday: visitors, signups, revenue, replies, conversion. Screenshots are fine. Small and true beats big and vague, and zero is a real answer if you can say what you learned.
Growth engine
The one channel you'd run again next month. How it works, what it produced, and why it repeats without a hero effort.
Repo
Optional. Open source is welcome but not required — you keep 100% of your IP.
Before you hit submit
- Open your live URL in a private window. If it doesn't load for a stranger, it doesn't count.
- Have your analytics or dashboard open in a tab for the pitch. Judges will ask.
- Pick one category. Entering everything reads as not knowing what you built.
- Five minutes plus three of questions, live product on screen. Time it once.
