General SR'18 Application
Every year, we feature some of the best early-stage startups that use Python on Startup Row at PyCon US. This year, PyCon is happening in May in Cleveland, OH. More information about PyCon can be found online at: https://us.pycon.org/2018/

Filling out this application puts your company in the applicant pool. However, we welcome you to present your startup at one of our live pitch events. Details about those events can be found at the end of this application

Would you consider pitching at a live event to win your way to Startup Row?
One winning company from a Startup Row live event is automatically given a spot on Startup Row at PyCon 2018. Companies which participated in the live events but didn't win are re-entered into the general applicant pool. Note: Missing an application deadline for a local event does not exempt your company from applying to Startup Row, you just won't be able to pitch at a live event.
