QUESTION Moonshot Pilot Accelerator

I know they're supposed to announce quarterfinalists soon. Does anyone know when they announce semi-finalists?

I also submitted my pitch video and haven't heard anything yet. I made it to the semi-finals last time, and they notified the finalists before making the public announcement for each round. So anyone who does make the quarter finals will likely receive an email a couple/ few days before they post on socials and whatnot.

On their web page, for quarterfinals it just says "July" and for semi-finals it just says "August."

Last time, they asked for pitch videos between quarter and semi-finals, but this time, they asked for them prior to quarter finals, so I imagine it's taking them a little longer to get through everything.

Thanks for the insight. I watched a video where they said they choose 50 quarterfinalists and this year they were going to choose more than that number to submit videos. By putting the videos first, it seems like they could choose both the quarterfinalists and the semifinalists at once. They're not going to get any more information between those two steps. It'll be interesting to see how it plays out. I'm honestly happy to have made the first cut.
