Any company that has debuted a new technology application in 2010 can launch it in the showcase.
COMPETE
Think your startup is the next American Idol? Apply for midVentures compete, where we’ll be selecting the top 25 start-ups to be judged by our expert panel. If you are accepted, then you’ll be given a table on the exhibition floor for free. The first round of judging is done à la middle school science fair, with judges intermingling with attendees to watch your pitch on the exhibition floor. The top five will then be selected for a 2.5 minute pitch in front of the audience and the panel of judges, where they will undergo a second round of judging.
