We’re pleased to introduce a brand new program at Web 2.0 Expo New York this year that’s specifically designed to get your new company great exposure in front of hundreds of potential users, investors, as well as Tim O’Reilly and Fred Wilson: Our Startup Showcase.
The application period ends August 2, so apply now. If you want to attend Startup Showcase as an audience member, register here with code webny10scm4 to save 25% (even our Web 2.0 Expo Lite pass gets you in).
The Format
On the third day of Web 2.0 Expo New York – Wednesday, September 29 – approximately 30 startups will demo in one large room. We’ll provide you with a small table and room for two people to demo—you’ll bring a laptop (or two) and a founder (or two).
Web 2.0 Expo attendees will have 50 minutes to see all the demos, and a bell will chime every 5 minutes letting people know it’s time to move to another table. As they walk around the hall, attendees will vote on their favorite startup.
After the 50 minutes is up, Tim O’Reilly and Fred Wilson will each announce their top pick along with the audience favorite. These three startups will then each give a pitch and have an on-stage conversation with Tim and Fred.
Who Should Apply?
- relatively young startups that aren’t drowning in investment (yet)
- companies in all technology areas: hardware, software, B2B, B2C, mobile (just to name the most obvious categories)
For more information and to submit your application, check out our Startup Showcase page on the Web 2.0 Expo New York site or contact us @w2e.
Good luck!
