How to submit milestones

1. Sign in and finish your profile

• There's no password. On the sign-in page, enter the email your team registered with and click Email me a sign-in link. Open the email, click the link, then click Finish signing in. Each link works once, for an hour.
• The first time, complete your profile, including a personal backup email that isn't a university address.
• You join your team automatically when you first sign in. No team on your dashboard usually means you used a different email than the one on your application.

2. Find the submission page

1. On your Dashboard, click Data room in the Your team card. (Or click My team in the top menu, then Data room.)
2. The Data room lists every milestone with its deadline, time left, and status.
3. Click a milestone. That page is its submission page: one card per requirement, and Submit milestone at the bottom.

Anyone on the team can add items and submit; you don't need to be the captain.

3. Add each item

• File: click Upload file. PDF, PPTX, XLSX, DOCX, or PNG, up to 50 MB. Export Keynote or Google Slides to PDF first. Upload a new version replaces it, and earlier versions stay listed.
• Link: paste the full link starting with https:// and click Save. Make sure judges can open it without requesting access.
• Interview log: click Add an interview once per conversation. Read the interview guide on that card first if customer discovery is new to you.
• Video link: upload to YouTube as Unlisted (not Private), Vimeo, or Loom, then paste the link and click Save. It plays right on the page.

Extras no milestone asks for, like press or extra research, go under Supporting materials at the bottom of the Data room.

4. Submit

1. When every Required card shows ✓ Added, scroll to the bottom. Until then the page lists what's still needed.
2. Click Submit milestone. Your team needs at least 2 members on the platform.
3. The status becomes Submitted. You can keep replacing items until the deadline; if you do, click Submit again.

At the deadline the milestone locks and nothing more can be added. Need more time? Ask before the deadline: email the WVIC organizers at hello@wisconsin.ventures.

The milestones

Times are Central.

Who sees your Data room

Your team, the judges assigned to your team, the competition's mentors, and the organizers. Never other teams or the public. Still stuck? Send your team name and a screenshot: email the WVIC organizers at hello@wisconsin.ventures.
