Why be a King, when you can be the God
Doesn’t matter if you are not ready, your opponent is. While you are having a good night sleep, your opponent is either getting funded or is acquiring customer. Do you have it in you to face-off your opponent in the unruly terrains under the most obnoxious atmosphere?
What is face-off?
TheTechPanda presents “face-off” where any two like-business will be evaluated. In a face-off two startups from the same niche and market will be placed against each other and will be judged on the basis of several parameters. This is how it is done:
- Two like-businesses will be evaluated on the basis of 10 parameters. Each parameter will consist of 100 point and thus the 10 parameters collectively will consist of 1000 points.
- You will be given 10 parameters to rate your opponent and the same parameters will be given to your opponent to rate you. The ratings will be kept confidential with us. The decision of TheTechPanda jury will be final while evaluating both the parties.
- Both the parties will receive same points out of 1000 in the end. The differentiating factor will be the ratings assigned in the parameters (For example, you might receive a rating of 90/100 in Website Checkup and your opponent will get 75/100, you might be rated 80/10o in Team whereas your opponent will get 95/100 for the same; where your and your opponent total would be 850/1000)
