In short: If you have a startup that can help big brands expand their reach, there’s a competition in NYC on 9/27 that might be for you. If you win, you get $30,000.
I just received the following email, and it made sense to post it here:
I’m writing on behalf of a startup competition that may be of interest to your readers. What makes this competition different is it pairs founders who are building marketing technologies with today’s top brands.
The startup competition is part of a larger event we’re hosting on September 27th here in New York City that’s pairing up major brands (Google, ESPN, Mashable) with emerging technology startups to explore how innovations in social technology are shifting brand marketing and advertising as we know it.
The Competition
What is it?
5 lucky startups will receive the opportunity to pitch their startup ideas to a panel of today’s top brands and social media thought leaders. The panel will ask the startups how they can “ExpandMyBrand” and startups will have to answer with how their product will boost brand reach and customer engagement.
How do I enter?
To enter, simply fill out the startup submission form by Friday, September 14th.
What do I win?
If you’re lucky enough to win, you’ll be taken through our incubation program where you’ll receive $30,000 in incubation assets. This means office space, full time senior business development team, web development and design team, product sales assistant, customer introductions and everything you need to turn your product into a business and that business into revenue.
Submission Deadline
To have a chance at being selected, your startup must be registered for the Startup Challenge by Friday, September 14th.
