Startup Epicenter in Mountain View, CA

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.

Update (3/24): Check out Stowe Boyd’s interview with Scott Lane, Event Organizer.
