Founder Sprint — Round 1
Aug 3, 2026 – Aug 17, 2026
Only platform-verified signals score — “I have this problem too” checks, quests stamped VALIDATED, qualified referrals, and admin-approved showcase entries. Self-reported first-user counts and revenue are never counted, no matter how they're entered elsewhere on WantBorn. Read the published criteria below. or the full rules that apply to every competition.
How points are earned here
- 2 pt(s) per person who says they have the same problem — but only once a quest has at least 2 independent people saying so; a single one still shows everywhere on WantBorn, it just doesn't score alone
- 10 pt(s) per quest that reached VALIDATED
- 3 pt(s) per qualified referral
- 5 pt(s) per admin-approved showcase entry
- Capped at 25 counted events per signal, per person — the raw count is always shown alongside.
Weights are frozen for the whole run — they were locked the moment this competition opened and cannot be retuned while it's live.
Published judging criteria
Ranked purely on platform-verified activity for this 14-day round: confirming "I have this problem too" checks (once a quest has at least two independent confirmers), quests that reach VALIDATED, qualified referrals, and admin-approved Showcase entries. Nothing self-reported — first-user counts, revenue milestones, PMF survey tallies — is read. Full mechanics, caps and tie-breaks: /competitions/rules.
A judge may only pick from the verified top 5 places below, and must record a written reason — judgement decides between people the computed signals already put at the top, it can never reach past them.
