Last checked: June 26, 2026. External facts should be refreshed before final submission or partner-facing claims.

Method

How the idea board was built.

The workflow connects AABW rules, source-backed market research, and local domain topics.

Read the rules

Started from the local AABW notes, scoring sheet, and existing solo-travel pitch draft.

Search the market

Used Composio for YouTube and web research on agent startups, vertical agents, and hackathon demo patterns.

Load domain depth

Pulled local knowledge topics for aviation, QSR, VNG games, retail, fintech, real estate, claims, robotics, and LLM ops.

Score for Demo Day

Ranked every idea by working wedge, market scale, subjective conviction, differentiation, and 5-day feasibility.

Evidence board

Research inputs behind the ideas.

These sources feed idea scoring, market audits, and the education/gaming/tourism alignment lanes.
