Inquiry on Startup Pitch Event and Presentation Application Process

On the page for "Call for Presentations" it says If you represent an emerging startup, that would like to join our Startup Pitch Event and try to win the KGC startup prize. Please inquire at startup-pitch@knowledgegraph.tech or on Slack (see below). Who do I get in touch with here? We were considering to apply for a presentation today/tomorrow. I believe we have a good setup for an interesting presentation about the protocol we're releasing (and the need for it, and the benefit for the whole space) without necessarily pitching our startup. However perhaps the Startup Pitch Event would still be more fitting. How does applying for the pitch event work? Would we also need to apply for this before the 16th of Jan?
