Startup 2009: Rising From The Ashes
Description
The Startup 2009 conference, which will take place in New York during Internet Week on Wednesday, June 3. The conference is co-hosted by Silicon Alley Insider and New York University's Stern School of Business, with support from founding sponsor General Catalyst Partners.
Startup 2009 will showcase 10 top startups competing for bragging rights, buzz, and a $50,000 prize. It will also feature in-depth conversations with Jason Calacanis and John Battelle, two entrepreneurs who built great companies, saw them get destroyed in a crash, and then got right back up and did it again. We'll also have panels on How To Raise A Boatload Of Money In A Crappy Market At A Huge Valuation (3 top VCs) and The 10 Biggest Mistakes Promising Companies Make.
The conference will take place on June 3, 2009, at the Schimmel Auditorium at NYU's Stern School. It will be the first of what we hope will become an annual forum for outstanding entrepreneurs and early-stage companies to meet VCs, investors, journalists, and other members of the East Coast startup community.
