Ryan Hinkle, Managing Director of Insight Venture Partners, will serve as the lead judge.

The top five finalists will be notified on August 8. Each will receive a full-access pass to Pluralsight LIVE 2018, travel accommodations to and from the event, and two Pluralsight subscriptions. The finalists will also secure dedicated space at Pluralsight LIVE Exchange to show off their products or services.
