What you win: Just for applying, you get 50% off a Web releasePlus (an online press release) from PRNewswire ($125 value). The 10 winning companies have the opportunity to give a three-minute pitch in front of a relevant audience of executives from startups and large companies, angel investors, VCs, and media. Some 300 participants are expected to attend.
These 10 presenting companies also receive:
- A $250 credit from oDesk.com
- A free online press release distribution courtesy of PRNewswire $250 value
- A professionally-produced video of your presentation
Time frame: The competitions starts September 14 and ends 11:59 pm PST on September 30.
Who should apply? Entrepreneurs with seed to early-stage startups across technology.
What should you submit? Submissions are in the form of a Vator company profile. We encourage video as it gives us a better sense of who’s behind the company. But you don’t need one. If you win, we’ll take one of you on stage.
