1. The 3-5 close friends who will pick up your call at 3 AM ten years from now. 2. The ability to learn a completely new domain from scratch in two weeks without getting overwhelmed. 3. Your health, emotional resilience, and communication skills. Keep your GPA above the eligibility cutoff (usually 7.5 or 8.0), but don't sacrifice your youth and friendships chasing a 9.8.

Never charge hourly when starting out — clients will question why a bug took 3 hours to fix. Charge per project milestone: - Milestone 1: Wireframes & visual designs in Figma (30% upfront) - Milestone 2: Functional staging deployment (40%) - Milestone 3: Production domain launch & handover (30%). Never deploy to their live domain until the final payment is cleared in your account.

We built a simple WhatsApp bot that sends daily mess menus and laundry token alerts for our campus hostels. Distribution playbook: 1. Shared on unofficial batch WhatsApp groups during lunch time. 2. Put small stickers with a QR code near the water coolers on every hostel floor. 3. Word-of-mouth did the rest: 500 active users in 72 hours. Solve real localized inconvenience.

Judges don't care about your 1,500 lines of code; they care about 3 things: 1. The Problem Hook (first 30 seconds: relatable student or real-world pain point) 2. Live Working Demo (never use slide screenshots; show real clicks) 3. Business / Scalability model (how does this survive beyond Sunday morning?). Keep slides under 6 pages.
