Field notes
Applicants are asked to document something they have already done, rather than submit an essay about an entrepreneurial journey. The rules bar harmful illegal acts, physical injury, harassment, and harmful nonconsensual targeting. The page says submissions are confidential by default but also notes that information may have to be handed over if subpoenaed.
