A good friend of mine just got accepted to the Startup Spotlight competition for How To Web 2013. His startup is growing, he’s done all the “meet your customer, sell to your customer before writing one line of code” process and now he’s private testing the first version of his app.
I am not telling you who he is, I don’t want to put more pressure on him as it’s already difficult to present your idea in front of several hundred people :)
Anyway, Startup Spotlight is a great place to showcase your project (we’ve earned Best Pitch in 2012) since the audience is full of like-minded people and possible mentors.
Some interesting starups that will present on the stage of Startup Spotlight are (and this is my opinion based on just one line of description, all right?):
Daisy Pi, GameMatch, GloriaFood, KOLOS, Monitor Backlinks, Sportwavez.
Read more about the 32 startups involved in Startup Spotlight here, since you might find something else that interests you.
A little bit of disclaimer: while I am not interested in link building, Monitor Backlinks is backed by SOSventures, the same investors that backed our seed round and I am really interested in their evolution, since the grew quite a little bit since their early round.
