We’re beyond excited to share that Dilemaa just won $10,000 at the 2025 Burgess New Venture Challenge (BNVC)! 🏆🎉

This includes:

✨ $7,500 Pitch and Plan Award

🎤 $2,500 Showcase Pitch Award

Winning at BNVC wasn’t just about the prize money (although that helps 😄). It was about validation.

It showed us that the problem we’re solving — decision-making — is something people really care about.

This win fuels our motivation to keep going — to improve the product, scale our reach, and keep building a platform that brings people together through their everyday dilemmas.

🙏 A huge thank you to the Burgess Institute for Entrepreneurship & Innovation, the mentors, the judges, and our amazing users.

We’re just getting started. The world is full of dilemmas — and we’re here to help you choose.

Let’s keep growing together. 🚀
