No, it's not the Big One, not even an earthquake... for three days next week, Startup Epicenter by SF Bay Ventures becomes the place to be in Mountain View.
It's a 3-day intensive workshop and startup demo event, opened by VC Legend Vinod Khosla's keynote on The Killer App vs. The Killer Capability, followed by workshops, panel discussions - see the agenda here.
Each day concludes by a VC/Angel panel judging the pre-approved startup company presentations. To be selected to present, you'll need at least 3 of the following:
- 1-2 page executive summary
- web page - secure view acceptable
- link to product demo
- blog link
- video on YouTube,etc.
- Customer Referral/Testimonial
- 1-2 paragraph description (your 30-45 sec. pitch)
- Financial Estimates
- powerpoint funding pitch presentation
...but not a Business plan!
Presenting startups receive e-mail consultation prior to and after the event.
The first day, March 27th will be a very full day; the 28th and 29th are afternoon sessions. Participants can pick and chose or attend the full program. Register here.
