Money Monday - Founders' Chance To Be Showcased On TechCrunch UK

techcrunchukireland.gif
Over at TechCrunch UK, there's a new feature called Money Mondays that will showcase startups looking for funding. Your a:c euro correspondent only just learned about it, so the first edition deadline is already passed. But we checked with TechCrunch UK's Mike Butcher today and he said there is still time to submit for the next editions. They will publish contact details and a short pitch for each startup selected. It is geared for startups that have not received any institutional or formal funding yet.

Here's the criteria and guidelines:

... a web or mobile startup which has yet to secure formal funding. They will have to have either an application of their idea up and running (e.g. a live web site) or a working demo or beta we can look at.

Startups can submit a short ‘pitch’ (and we mean short - half an A4 page if you want a guide) to us by the preceding Friday. In particular, we’ll be looking for smart applications of the new wave of web and mobile techniques and strategies.

The goal here is to support the start-up community of entrepreneurs and to make this a pretty informal, accessible way of attracting attention from potential investors, even towards ideas coming out of the ‘back bedroom’.

It doesn’t mean we’ll ‘take the gloves off’ in our critique of companies. It’s not a formal competition, but we hope this will act as a useful shot-in the arm for the startup community.


Please use their Contact form to submit your project.
