Steve Case’s “Rise of the Rest” tour stops in the Triangle on May 5, and one fortunate startup will secure a $100,000 investment from the AOL founder, entrepreneur and philanthropist. But the time to apply to be considered for a “pitch” to Case is running out.

Companies selected to make pitches during Case’s whirlwind trip across the Triangle will be notified by the end of the month.
Here are the criteria on which startups will be judged:
- “Bold idea”
- Jobs potential
- The team
- Execution
- Business Model
“Local,” i.e. does the startup capitalize on a particular strength of its home region.
Ten companies will be selected to make 5-minute pitches.
