Unveil YOUR New Startup at Launch: Silicon Valley 2011, Silicon Valley’s Most Affordable High-Value, High-Visibility Product Launch Event.
Due to high interest, submission deadline extended to May 10th.
Submissions are coming in not just from Silicon Valley, but from all over the world! - Australia, China, Estonia, France, Germany, India, New Zealand, Serbia, Spain, UK and more! There's so much interest from startups wanting to participate this year, we've extended the submission deadline to May 10th.
Companies interested in presenting their products at Launch: Silicon Valley 2011 should send an Executive Summary of no more than two pages to Launchsv@svase.org by May 10, 2011. Further details available at www.launchsiliconvalley.org
Launch: Silicon Valley 2011 is designed to uncover and showcase products and services from the most exciting of the newest startups in information technology, mobility, digital media, next generation internet, life sciences and clean energy.
In addition to extensive exposure to the media, corporate executives, and potential investors, companies voted “most likely to succeed” in their category will win the equivalent of over $10,000 worth of sponsor-supported prizes.
“Especially in the current economic environment, young companies are looking for affordable, high value, high visibility ways to introduce themselves in the marketplace,” said SVASE President & CEO Chris Gill. “Based on its central position in Silicon Valley’s startup ecosystem, Launch: Silicon Valley has long-provided a valuable entrée to the media, corporate executives, potential investors and other influencers who can help shape young startups’ success. For many companies ‘Launch’ has provided that critical boost.”
Sponsors: Launch: Silicon Valley is once again co-presented by the early stage venture capital firm Garage Technology Ventures and Microsoft, and will be hosted at the Microsoft Silicon Valley campus in Mountain View. Additional sponsors include Draper Fisher Jurvetson; the Band of Angels; Sand Hill Angels, the Angels Forum and Cooley LLP, among others. These sponsors have contributed resources so that each Launch: Silicon Valley 2011 category winner will receive over $10,000 in support and services to help launch their products.
Networking: Presenting companies, guest speakers, review panelists and audience members will have the opportunity to network at the Launch: Silicon Valley pre-Event Party on the evening of June 6, as well as meet on the day of the event to discuss presenters’ companies in more depth and potential opportunities to work together in the future.
“Thanks to the SVASE Launch event we’ve made some very important connections,” said James Alexander, CEO of Vizibility, a presenting company at Launch: Silicon Valley 2010. “Since the event, we’ve also enjoyed a great deal of media coverage, including being feature on ABC News.”
