Can we submit confidential deals?

Yes you can submit a confidential deal, just please include as much detail as you possibly can. If there is a great lack of detail, it could impact your chance of success. There is a checkbox at the end of the submission asking if it is confidential, so you just also need to ensure that it is ticked.
