Splash SF Sept 2012 Winer - Apartment List

Check out Apartment List's presentation at Splash SF Sept 2012

Apartment List is re-inventing the rental marketplace on a foundation of trust and transparency between renters and landlords. Here's a video of John Kobs and Chris Herndon presenting at Vator Splash SF.

Apartment List competed against more than 100 companies at Vator Splash SF this September through three rounds. The first round was a popular voting round. The second and third rounds were judges' rounds.

Among the judges were  Noah Doyle (Javelin Venture Partners), Neal Hansch (Rustic Canyon Partners), Wes Selke (Hub Ventures), Rich Scudellari (DLA Piper), Jackson Gates  (Pandora), Thomas Korte (AngelPad), Andy Ross (Grant Thornton), Josh Stein (DFJ), Patrick Chung (NEA) and Doug Renert (Tandem Capital).

Do you want to present on stage in front of 350 high-tech influencers and try your shot at being Splash NY December? Splash is free to enter. And, it's great marketing and exposure, along with some fun prizes, like sit-down meetings with VCs, an Apple iPad, free legal and accounting consultations, and more.

Even though success is not defined by how much money a company has raised, past Vator winners, such as Thumbtack, Getable, Grovo, Astrid, Udemy, and Geeklist have gone on to raise millions of dollars collectively from venerable VCs, soon after presenting.

Here's some other testimonials: 

"The process of inviting everyone one we knew to vote for us, even before the event, was a fantastic way to build support for our company. Then presenting at Vator Splash was a blast. The short presentation style ensured the audience was engaged and the follow-up questions from the judges were on-point and constructive. At Vator Splash, I made great connections with a number of investors and had a number of follow-up meetings. We were able to raise our last round entirely from investors who discovered us from the publicity we generated from Vator Splash," said Jon Paris, CEO and founder of Astrid.

"Vator has acted as a launchpad for my startup in terms of awareness and exposure. As a winner of a Vator competition, my startup enjoyed early traction and buzz. Vator has kept my business relevant in the minds of investors, entrepreneurs and potential employees. I've made many invaluable connections to the investor and entrepreneur community." Tim Hyer, founder and CEO, Getable.
