I saw your marketing posters promoting that all participants are eligible to apply for AWS Activate credits, how do I apply?
The AWS Activate Portfolio program is only limited to 1 company (team) and team members are not advised to apply multiple times, which will be declined anyway.
Therefore, you need to follow and complete the instructions as mentioned in our registration guide, “how to register for our competition?”. Or, your pre-application to the AWS Activate Portfolio program will be declined.

What is roiquant and why do I need to sign up for it in order to participate in the preseed startup competition?
Even though roiquant is our product’s brand name, we also use it to identify our company’s trade name (we’re also the Organizer of the virtual competition).
Essentially, roiquant is a business decision support system helping founders build competitive edge, so they can make data-informed decisions to innovate and generate high return on investment.
In empowering founders to innovate, roiquant’s data-centric product offering is purposefully designed and powered by business failures data, company performance data, capital markets data, historical data, commercial strategies, risk factors, investors database, business tools, simulators, and more, to help founders build valuable and successful businesses.
This is why it is a mandatory requirement for all participants to create a new roiquant account because all of our virtual startup competitions are powered by our roiquant solutions.
If you’re uncomfortable with the requirement, we can understand, but please read the rules before you decide not to register.

Why is roiquant's virtual competition website published on Atlassian Confluence that is different from roiquant website? Is this a legit roiquant website and what is Atlassian Confluence?
Atlassian Confluence is a team collaboration solution for knowledge documentation and project management, such as Microsoft SharePoint, Google Workspace, Notion, ClickUp, etc.
As a bootstrapping startup, roiquant’s team leverages on Atlassian Confluence to work efficiently and easily update latest information about our virtual startup competitions.
Therefore, this competition website with the URL of roiquant.atlassian.net, which is masked with go.roiquant.com/virtual-startup-competitions (URL masking to avoid branding confusion), is legitimately managed by roiquant.
For clarification, the following URLs (or website links) belong to and are managed by roiquant:
