No kidding. The discount is a lot more substantial than I would have expected. I’m registered.

Whoa… that’s a steal.

So I’ve never done one of these things, how does it work? You can just sign up as an individual and they put you on a team?

It’s always a bit different but mostly its the same format everywhere. Individuals and teams can pitch their ideas at the beginning and you can join up with them, work on your own project, or network and see if any other projects take form. It’s all pretty free form and casual for the most part.
