Celebrated StartupCamp Returns to ITEXPO East in Miami
NORWALK, CT - TMC and EMBRASE Business Consulting announced that StartupCamp, collocated with ITEXPO East, February 3, 2011 in the Miami Beach Convention Center—will return to Miami and feature a keynote address from DialPad, GrandCentral Founder Craig Walker. StartupCamp is a forum for early-stage entrepreneurs to pitch their communications offerings to a discriminating audience of potential investors, media, bloggers and industry influencers, who gather for an evening of rich networking.
“We are very excited about Mr. Walker’s Keynote at StartupCamp. It is a great opportunity for attendees and exhibitors alike to gain invaluable knowledge and insight into what it takes for startups to be successful, from inception to reality,” notes Rich Tehrani, CEO and group editor-in-chief of TMC.
StartupCamp co-founder Larry Lisser adds, “Craig will bring valuable insights to an event already well-known for equipping startups, industry leaders and investors with views and strategies they can use to succeed in the communications sector.
The fast-paced, “ready, set, pitch” format enables five pre-selected early-stage companies to validate their pitches in real time, and network with potential investors and partners. Companies developing products or services that enable or are enabled by communications technologies such as voice, SMS and video will be considered for a ‘pitch slot’.
Startups seeking exposure and opportunity are invited to apply online, no later than January 12, 2011. Selected companies will receive, at no cost:
- Speaking Slot at StartupCamp
- A video shoot produced and distributed by TMC
- Participation in pre- and post show marketing and promotional campaigns
- Space in the StartupCamp Pavilion on the ITEXPO exhibition floor
At StartupCamp in Los Angeles this past October, Cloud Telecomputers was selected as the overall winner. Cloud Telecomputers Chairman Jim Willenborg noted that “StartupCamp was an amazing opportunity for us to pitch our story. The response to our Android based IP telephony solution was overwhelmingly positive, with dozens of potential channel partners and customers resulting from our participation.”
