Hi there, I liked this article about the startup competitions. I believe it is a great opportunity for startups to participate in and get a positive outcome from it. There is an other article that was published recently “The Startup Competitions That You Can’t Afford to Miss in 2019” where you can read about the same competition but also many different ones.
