Apply For The Startup Speed Run
The cameras are rolling. The clock is ticking. This isn't a hackathon, it’s a content mining operation for your personal brand.
15 Strangers. 5 Teams.
1 Mission. 10 Hours.
You are not pitching your current company. You are building a new one from scratch. Here is how the day works.

9AM - The Arrival
Call time. Mic up.
The Pre-Game Confessional: Who are you? What is your superpower? Why will you win? We capture your confidence before the chaos starts.
10AM - The Draft
You arrive as individuals. We draft you into 5 "Dream Teams" live on set.
The Reaction Confessional Do you trust your new team? Who is the weak link? We capture your raw reaction to the draft.

11AM - The Sprint
Your team has 7 hours to Ideate, Validate, and Build.
Your goal is to attempt to make an extremely rough Prototype, a Landing Page, and a Pitch Deck.
You have $0 budget. You must use speed and leverage to validate the idea before the clock stops.
630PM - The Pitch
Laptops close. You pitch the new venture to the judges.
The pre-pitch confessional: Are you ready? What broke? We capture the panic before you step on stage.

8pm - The Verdict
The winner is crowned. The day wraps.
The Decompression Confessional: How did you perform? What would you change? We capture the post-mortem while the adrenaline is still high.
Build A Personal Brand That Outlives Any Startup Idea
Most founders work in the dark for 2 years. We force you into the spotlight for 10 hours.

Hours of footage of you pitching, leading, and executing
We hand you the raw files of you in the trenches, building, debating, and shipping. This is months of high quality content for your LinkedIn and Twitter.

Cross-promote with the other participants
You aren't just broadcasting to your network. You are leveraging ours. Every participant amplifies the cohort. Every clip Fable posts puts you in front of Tier-1 investors. It is algorithmic dominance by design.
VCs invest in you, not your idea
Ideas are cheap. Execution is everything. Investors need to see how you handle friction, deadlines, and zero budget. This isn't a demo day; it is a character test. Prove you can survive the sprint, and a VC might reach out.
The 3-Person Unicorn
There are only 15 seats. 5 Teams. 3 Roles per team. Which one are you?

The Visionary
You are the CEO. Your job is not to code. Your job is to lead, to pivot, and to sell the vision while the world burns around you.
The Test: Can you look a camera in the lens and convince an investor to wire you $100k for an idea you had this morning?

The Builder
You are the CTO. You ship. While the Founder talks, you build. We don't need clean code. We need working code.
The Test: Can you deploy a functional MVP in a day?
.avif)
The Creative
You are the Brand. You build the landing page, the deck, and the "feel." You make a 4-hour startup look like a Series A company.
Can you build a high-converting landing page and a killer pitch deck before lunch?
