Complete the intake questions on that form
It asks how you heard about Rev1, your personal details, your location including Ohio county, the company or concept name, your title, how you describe your involvement in the startup community, a few sentences on the product and the problem it solves, the support you are seeking, and whether the company is privately held and already located in Ohio (50% or more).

Attend the session and agree next steps
Rev1 says you will "hear about our programs and how we work with founders. Then we'll ask you about your company and your goals, so we can help you determine your next steps." That is the route into either the Concept to Customer Bootcamp or the 14-week Customer to Capital Accelerator.
