I'm kind of at a loss for what they expect the "sprint goals" to be. Would people who've been through this program be willing to share what their sprint goal was along with how mature their project was, what kind of experience they had and whether they achieved their sprint goal?

While the selection criteria seems pretty subjective, if you want a chance at winning the $10K grant then your work should focus on business growth. They mention examples like launching V1, but the criteria has no real focus on product progress or technical achievements. In fact, it seems like simply running a successful marketing campaign for your preexisting product would set you up for success in this "sprint". More specifically, the selection criteria reads: A panel of qualified judges determined by Sponsor (YC) in its sole discretion will select as the Winners the Participants with the twenty highest-scoring Submissions from among all eligible Submissions received by the Submission Deadline based on the following criteria: * Participant’s revenue or prospects for revenue in the near term (25%) * Participant’s business growth as measured by an increase in users, increase in revenues, progress in bookings or improvement in the Participant’s objectives (“Business Growth”) (25%) * Scalability of Participant’s business (25%) * Feasibility of implementing Participant’s proposed business objectives (25%) Source: https://docs.google.com/document/u/0/d/1YSvivbXQGTH8bHLTfIwjzNwkUGcwZfuXZJrsL2EFF2k/mobilebasic https://docs.google.com/document/u/0/d/1YSvivbXQGTH8bHLTfIwj...
