WHAT:
"Startups Take a Pitch". Essentially, we are calling on Filipino start up companies involved in technology, including consumer web, internet, mobile, wireless, social media, gaming, software, hardware, clean and biotech. We prefer that the company has an authentic and owned IP with at least 2 founders who aim to solve a real and urgent problem. Finally, we prefer that the company already has an existing product (post idea), and if it's already launched, with market traction and revenue. The startup must be looking for funding and/or globalization.

WHEN:
The competition date will be on February 9, 2010, Tuesday, 9am to 3:30pm. Click here to check the Close
