August 31: Pitch NYC Application Due
Are you a beta-stage startup? Do you have at least one woman among your founders? If yes, and yes — do this. Hosted by Women 2.0, the application is a three-parter: online form, 2-minute video, and a napkin biz plan. And the prize purse is a rich one: $25,000, a meeting with Marc Andreessen, and an automatic finalist interview for TechStars NYC. Start here. |
Finally, a tip of the hat to Neil Armstrong, who went on his way yesterday. 51 years ago, Armstrong announced, simply, “the Eagle has landed,” from a corner of the Sea of Tranquility, igniting the imagination of an entire globe.
