Be a part of the startup boom in NYC: Exclusive GIT member discount to TechCrunch Disrupt
Fred Wilson, VC and principal of Union Square Ventures (the investment firm most famous for backing notable companies like FourSquare, Twitter, and Etsy), has long argued that the New York tech startup scene is booming.
Chris Dixon, the co-founder of Hunch and personal investor in early-stage technology companies, has the same feeling.
We couldn’t agree more.
To witness – or participate – in the New York tech scene’s rich history in the making, we suggest you check out an upcoming NYC event that’s sure to be a microcosm of the boom that’s taking place all around us.
The 1st annual TechCrunch Disrupt conference takes place May 24-26 at 570 Washington Street, an enormous 100,000 square foot event space in SoHo.
Each morning of this 3-day conference is dedicated to a series of panels and discussions hosted by an impressive list of key players in the startup world. In between sessions, attendees are invited to browse “Startup Alley” – the conference demo floor where early-stage startups can showcase their businesses and products.
Interested in demoing your business? $1,995 will get you 2 tickets and an entire day to demo in Startup Alley. Click here for details.
The bread-and-butter of the conference, however, is no doubt the “Startup Battlefield” competition. (And let’s be honest. With a name like “Startup Battlefield,” I kind of secretly wish this competition was part of a reality show – a’ la Simon Cowell’s now cancelled nail-biter, American Inventor. Oh, the drama.)
In this “March Madness-style” contest , a slew of carefully-selected applicants will take part in a pitch tournament where they’ll be asked to demo their business or product over several rounds. The winner receives a $50,000 cash prize – not to mention TechCrunch-sponsored bragging rights.
Interested in attending TechCrunch Disrupt? You’re in luck, my friend. We’re thrilled to announce that TechCrunch is offering all Girls in Tech members who sign up before April 30 a hefty discount.
So click here to get your GIT promo code and buy your tickets. And if you’re a student, TechCrunch is also offering an additional $200 off the ticket price. Not bad.
Hope to see you there!
