Great! you’re in the right place. To give every innovator a fair shot, we’ve designed a structured submission flow that helps you clearly communicate your idea, your vision, and your value. Whether you’re technical or not, this guide breaks down every question you’ll be asked during the process and why we ask it. Let’s dive in. *** #### 1. Idea Title **Prompt:** Give your idea a clear, compelling name. (Max 40 characters)\ **Why it matters:** Your title is the first impression voters see. It should be punchy, descriptive, and specific.\ **Example:** AI-Powered Smart Contract Auditor *** #### 2. Idea Summary **Prompt:** Pitch your concept. What’s the core problem you’re solving? Who benefits? Why is this worth building? (Max 800 characters)\ **Why it matters:** This is your “elevator pitch.” Clear, problem-solution framing helps reviewers and voters understand the value at a glance. *** #### 3. Social Verification **Prompt:** Link your X (Twitter), Telegram, LinkedIn, or website to confirm your identity.\ **Why it matters:** We use this to verify real people are behind proposals. It adds credibility and prevents spam. *** #### 4. Tell Us About Yourself **Prompt:** Share your background, experience, or what drives your innovation journey. (Max 800 characters)\ **Why it matters:** We want to know the human behind the idea. You don’t need to be an expert, but your “why” matters. *** #### 5. Email Verification & Agreement Signing **Prompt:** Confirm your email to sign the NDA & Revenue Share Agreement.\ **Why it matters:** This step protects your idea and sets expectations—Messier shares revenue (30%) with selected proposers. *** #### 6. Development Stage **Prompt:** How far along are you in building this idea? (Idea, MVP, testing, etc.)\ **Why it matters:** Some ideas are early. Some are nearly launch-ready. Both are valid—but being honest helps us plan resources. *** #### 7. Why This Idea? **Prompt:** What inspired this? Do you have relevant expertise?\ **Why it matters:** Passion and domain knowledge are powerful. If you understand the space, you can build better solutions. *** #### 8. Competitor Analysis **Prompt:** Who are your main competitors, and what sets your idea apart?\ **Why it matters:** Understanding the market shows you’ve done your homework—and that your idea is differentiated. *** #### 9. Revenue Model **Prompt:** How do you plan to generate revenue? (Fees, subscriptions, token utility, etc.)\ **Why it matters:** Messier shares revenue with selected ideas. A sustainable model = higher potential for execution. *** #### 10. Category **Prompt:** Choose a category (e.g., AI, DeFi, Gaming, Education). (Max 40 characters)\ **Why it matters:** This helps the community and voters discover proposals they care about. You can list more than one. *** #### 11. How Did You Hear About Us? **Prompt:** Was it Twitter, Discord, a friend, or somewhere else?\ **Why it matters:** This helps us understand what outreach is working and how to grow the community. *** #### 12. What Motivated You to Apply? **Prompt:** What drew you to Innovator Hub? Are you part of the Messier community already?\ **Why it matters:** This gives us insight into who our platform resonates with—and why builders want to launch with us. *** #### Tips for a Great Submission * Be honest. You don’t need to have it all figured out—we’re here to help you build. * Be clear. Avoid jargon. Explain like you’re pitching a friend who’s smart but outside your space. * Be bold.
