The One Month startup course and competition was designed to help very early stage companies get up and running in just 30 days. There were ten judges for the competition, all entrepreneurs or experts in the tech space. Among them were One Month founder Mattan Griffel, Y Combinator partner Kevin Hale, Product Hunt’s Ben Tossell, and Justin Mares, author of Traction. The startups were judged on the quality and uniqueness of the idea, marketability, progress made during the 30-day course, and quality and commitment of the team. At the end of the course participants had to prepare a mock Y Combinator application and submit a demo video LessAnalytics has a product that automates some of the more tedious parts of data analytics management and provides a conversational way to interact with data using an AI powered personal assistant. Of the more than 100 startups that participated, only 25 of them made it to the mock accelerator application and demo video, which was a requirement to be considered for the cash prize. As the winners, LessAnalytics received a $10,000 cash prize, to be used to fund the startup’s growth.
