It is held at Stanford University in Stanford, California.

The organizer identifies early-career founders as an audience and describes the event as a learning opportunity for participants.

It is most useful for early-career founders working on deep tech and AI for health, such as wearables, brain-machine interfaces or robotics, since it is a pitch competition with a $25,000 prize and speakers from Stanford engineering and medicine. Its stated purpose is learning for participants, so later-stage companies seeking investor deal flow or buyers would get less from it than from an industry conference.

Attendees at university pitch competitions usually wear smart casual, with founders pitching in business casual or a blazer; Stanford's campus in early November is mild, so a light layer suffices.
