Fall EXPO 2010 features 40 startups pitching to an audience of 500 Silicon Valley influencers, including ~100 investors looking for the next big idea! We have over 80 VCs confirmed to date. The investors in attendance will select the top three startups who will get an additional 10 minutes to impress the audience. Kevin Efrusy, partner at Accel Partners, and Guido Jouret, CTO of Cisco Systems' Emerging Technologies Group, will be giving keynote addresses to the audience. One of our biggest events of the year, EXPO is an exciting day filled with innovation, investors, and pitches and demos from some of the most promising startups in Silicon Valley. Expect some great presentations, great keynotes, great demos, and great networking opportunities.Startups formed by current students or recent graduates will have the opportunity to pitch to a panel of Venture Capitalists, Angel Investors, and potential Corporate Partners in an Elevator Pitch format. Each start-up gets three minutes to pitch their company to the panel with a two minute Q&A session with the VC panel. This Elevator Pitch style event provides a tremendous amount of value to the venture firms, the audience, and especially the start-up companies. The start-up company gets exposure, public speaking practice and feedback from an experienced and wise panel of VC's. It also lets investors gauge their interest in targeting the companies they would continue the conversation with to see a more in depth demo at the startup's booth during the networking event.
