You have 12–18 minutes to hijack the all-hands meeting and passionately pitch an insanely unconventional, borderline-unhinged alternative (e.g., “three-day silent meditation in an abandoned nuclear cooling tower”, “urban exploration of active construction cranes at midnight”, “compan

In 12–18 minutes you must deliver a compelling spoken pitch (or written proposal) that: diagnoses the place’s hidden genius and current challe

The most daring branding showdown in Grandomastery: your company is redesigning its official coat of arms and mascot. The boring rival consultant proposes the predictable eagle/lion/bull. You have 12–18 minutes to pitch a radically unconventional animal (e.g., naked mole rat, tardigrade, axolotl, honey badger, or giant isopod) as the perfect, investor-seducing symbol of the brand’s future.

The most gleefully corporate-absurd Grandomastery scenario: you have just been appointed co-CEO of a major tech unicorn whose legendary founder renamed all 12 months after classic IT buzzwords (January = Clouduary, March = Agilearch, etc.). Now, to signal your visionary leadership by re-rebranding the entire calendar using only the hottest 2025–2026 buzzwords (Web3tober, Quantuary, AImpact, Metaversember…).

You have exactly 8–12 minutes to invent and passionately pitch a startup that perfectly embodies the fusion of both archetypes, explaining its name, essence, mission, culture, and why eccentric VCs should write million-dollar cheques tomorrow.
