Sclipo hosts the EU Start-Up 2.0 Competition Video Challenge

Posted on April 22, 2008

The 2008 Start-Up 2.0 Competition is about finding Europe’s best web 2.0 start-up. We at Sclipo, having participated and won last year’s contest, believe every EU web 2.0 Start-Up should participate, because:

1. You will get noticed by the right people. You are all looking for financing and references. By participating, your company will be re-viewed by a first class jury including Martín Varsavsky, Loic Le Meur, Daniel Waterhouse, Tom Raftery, Ouriel Ohayon, Nicole Simon, Bernardo Hernández, Luca Conti and Yaron Orenstein.

2. It is free PR: The competition will drive attention, traffic and new members to your site.

3. It is a motivation booster: Motivation is your most valuable resource (more than cash!). This competition will put you and your team on fire. You will be applauded, voted and celebrated. All doubts will go away! This adrenaline is essential to help you overcome the challenges you are facing.

What’s new this year is that start-ups can submit videos showcasing their product. We are excited that Sclipo was selected to host these videos. It is not mandatory, though we dearly recommend submitting a video. Imaging being a judge who has to struggle her way through thousands of lines of text describing hundreds of start-ups … a video makes it so much easier to understand and value your product. So, take the time and create a video! It’s worth it!

Thanks to the organizers for making the event happen: Alianzo and La Caixa Emprendedor XXI. Partners of this year’s event are Microsoft, Sun and Techcrunch.

Register here for the 2008 Start-Up 2.0 Competition. Registrations will be admitted till May 10, 2008.

To submit a video at Sclipo, go to the Start-Up 2.0 Challenge at Sclipo and follow the instructions.

Good luck!!
