DEMO Co-Executive Producer Matt Marshall will be heading to NYC next month to participate as a judge at the Startup 2009 conference taking place on Wednesday, June 3. Co-hosted by Silicon Alley Insider and New York University's Stern School of Business, Startup 2009 will showcase 10 top startups competing for bragging rights, buzz, and a $50,000 prize.
The conference is the first of what Silicon Alley hopes will be an annual forum for outstanding entrepreneurs and early-stage companies to meet VCs, investors, journalists, and other members of the East Coast startup community. DEMO is participating as a Contest Sponsor offering the winner the chance to demonstrate at a future DEMO event (assuming they meet the criteria to launch).
This is part of a prize package that includes:
- $25,000 cash investment from General Catalyst Partners
- Up to 6 months of office space in NYC.
- Marketing campaign with Silicon Alley Insider.
- Legal services from a top-notch law firm.
- $5,000 in legal services from Cooley Godward Kronish
- Six months free rent from TechSpace, a $15,000 value
- One-year free listing on SecondMarket, a minimum $7,500 value
- $5,000 marketing campaign on Silicon Alley Insider
- Opportunity to launch your product at DEMO for free, a $18,500 value
Seems like a lot more than $50k to us!
The deadline for applicants has closed. Good luck to the 10 finalists!
Next Wednesday (5/20) marks the end of their early bird registration offer for attendees. Learn more and register at: http://www.businessinsider.com/startup2009
