​**🏙️ Track 2: Urban Business Resilience** *(sponsored by District Cover)* Build tools that help small businesses understand risk, improve safety, and navigate insurance in dense urban environments. District Cover is bringing real underwriting expertise and real problem statements — winning concepts could move into actual pilots.
