Our team is in the same boat and I think you're entirely right regarding how beneficial the application process has been.

The concision required of some of the questions was cleansing: Even if I couldn't hit 120, I know I took a scalpel to the ideas we were tossing around in order to pull out those few nuggets of gold.

Best of luck, Adrian. Maybe we'll meet over the summer!

Thanks Lucas! Best of luck to you too. Did our tips line up with your own process? I'd be interested to here what other resources and references other use.

I suggest using iPG (http://www.jamescun.com/ycs12/) to prep for an invitation for interview for your team.

Sorry about the long delay!

Your tips certainly did line up with our process. Most of our resources were drawn from friends and colleagues who are working in the venture capital firm. In retrospect, those tips were more industry specific and funding-level specific than we had expected.

Oh well! We've learned a lot regardless of the outcome. I've tried the above tool and its helped cut down our pitch duration by nearly half. Thanks!
