Demo and Startup City
Demo is a conference that showcases new ideas. The idea is that people with startup ideas get 6 minutes to pitch their ideas. What's the payoff for them? Investors, of course. What's the payoff for us? There's a website with a live feed and we can watch the action on the web! Surf to www.demo.com today beginning at 9:00AM PST and be a part of the excitement. Here's an example:
We have a new group here at Codetown: Startup City. Wonder how to put your bright ideas into play? Want to learn how to write a business plan? What about funding? How do you et the kickstart your business needs? Join Startup City and learn. Share your experiences at Startup City so that others can benefit. It'll be fun. Youll never know what the folks at Groupon (dot com) have up their sleeves unless you ask.
