Launch Silicon Valley Event - November 8, 2006
Just saw this on Guy Kawasaki's blog and wanted to get the word out. Here's a blurb from the site:
The event is designed to uncover and showcase the most exciting of the newest startups in high technology. Launch: Silicon Valley is looking for new companies that are ready for launch, but are not already well-known. These are companies who have a product or service available (as of November 8), but have not been out for more than several months. All technology sectors and all geographies will be considered.
If you want to nominate a company (or if you are a company and want to nominate yourself!), please email a two-page executive summary to LaunchSV@svase.org . The deadline for submissions is October 15.
Launch: Silicon Valley is not a pitchfest or a beauty pageant. Companies will not be pitching for funding; they will be looking for buzz, customers, mindshare, and possibly talent and partners. But not funding. Launch: Silicon Valley wants to focus on finding companies that are not already well-funded and well-known, and that can't afford their own fancy PR campaigns and the exorbitant fee to present at some elegant resort.
If you want to nominate a company (or if you are a company and want to nominate yourself!), please email a two-page executive summary to LaunchSV@svase.org . The deadline for submissions is October 15. If you have any questions about the event, or if you want to register to attend, please go to: http://www.LaunchSiliconValley.org.
All submissions will be reviewed by an Advisory Board of investors and executives. The 30 most interesting companies will be invited to participate in the “Launch: Silicon Valley” showcase, and 15 of these companies will also be invited to deliver product presentation to an audience of Silicon Valley’s leading movers and shakers.
