THE PITCH
What we’re pitching
Starlink can put internet anywhere on earth — but somebody still has to climb the ladder. That’s the whole pitch, in three parts:
THE PROBLEM
The last thirty feet
The satellites work — Starlink can reach any rooftop in America. But customers get a box and an app with no one to call, and the companies selling the service have no installers to send — so installs stall, cancel, or never happen, and unvetted techs get sent into people’s homes.
THE SOLUTION
WOSA — the missing layer
America was missing a nationwide installer network, so we built it: vetted, industry-tested technicians, dispatched, tracked, and paid through our own platform, WOSA — with custom work-order templates for every partner and mandatory photo closeout on every job.
THE PROOF
Already running
270 approved installers in the field and national partners already sending live work through the portal. This isn’t a concept deck — the presentation is the system, fully functional and in use, exactly as it goes to the judges.
If Bigfoot wins — where the $10,000 goes
$5,000
Next-day tech pay float
Technicians paid the day the job’s done instead of waiting on client invoices — that’s how you win the best installers in the country.
$2,500
First product line
Launch the 3D-printed Starlink mounts and accessories line — field-tested by our own installer community, sold on Amazon.
$2,500
Sales team on the road
Put a sales team out signing the partners who sell Starlink and need a network that can actually install it.
THE EVENT
Battle of OKC — the details
Ten veteran entrepreneurs, chosen from three-minute video pitches, pitch live to a panel of judges. Every finalist business is majority veteran-owned, operating at least one year, and registered in Oklahoma. Cash awards go to the top three, plus an Audience Choice winner.
