Do you have a tech-startup idea, and need help getting over the next hurdle?

Many of us with great business ideas are at a loss concerning how to take the next step.  Fortunately, we’re in one of the “brainiest” locations in the United States! (the Atlantic Aug. 2010).  At the upcoming E*-Tech Mashup, aspiring and even seasoned entrepreneurs will have the opportunity to present their ideas before C-ville’s best and brightest technical experts. Advice will be provided to entrepreneurs concerning practicality, requirements, scope, difficulty, and implementation.  Network with professionals and students.  If you would like to present your idea, then please sign up now!

Are you already a Tech Expert? Would you like to help a new venture?

If you have insights and advice for new ventures, or if you can directly provide your services, join us at the E*-Tech Mashup. If you can offer input on practicality, requirements, scope, difficulty, and implementation of a business idea, then your expertise can make a real difference.  You might even find a few new clients!

Event Format: Several aspiring tech entrepreneurs will be selected to present their concept at display tables.  A portion of these entrepreneurs will also be given 5 minutes to pitch their idea before Cville's tech community.  During the networking that follows the pitches, the audience will be asked to assist the entrepreneurs in answering their most critical questions.  Want to pitch?  Please fill out this short registration form.
