I won’t be there, but I’m looking forward to hearing about these startups. Will there be a live feed by any chance? Videos posted later?

As a start-up you are clearly forbidden to try to make any money before.
- TC50 wants total control on your content.
- Start-ups need to obey or go away.

Strangely this is still happening:
Web 2.0 and social web sites: the community makes the success or fail.
At times when the Internet is taking over classic communication channels, PR, events and trade shows.

I’m trying to apply but App2You is completely broken. It says it supports EPS and AI files for logos. I’ve tried both an EPS and an AI file and it just says it’s “bad data”

If I upload a JPG it errors out.

1. It is still in phase 1: idea.
2. I believe TC can do very much for me.

I understand that the criteria to enter is that you cannot have launched. What does this mean: 1) Alpha, 2) Private Beta, or 3) Beta? I assume you cannot have gone GA?

@And, your website should not describe your product

Only time every I heard having a a website without keyword rich website or information on your website being a good thing…

That should tell you something:
1. redo your startup concept
2. realize TC doesnt do much for you anyway

Regarding these criteria:

# And, your website should not describe your product or show your product until you step on stage to present at TechCrunch50.

What if your startup is already listed on crunchbase but hasn’t really been noticed by anyone yet? I’m willing to (let) remove our listing in order to apply.

$3k for what? that’s an expensive lunch…how well did the past 2 years of hype do for the TC (TKO?) 50? where are they now? how many VC are investing in them these days? I think you’re still living in Web 2.0 hypeland Mike.

I would definitely be interested in going to the 2010 event. I’m following you on Twitter so be sure to send out some info in late ‘09. Thanks for the heads up, Sanjay.

I do an annual event in Atlanta called Startup Riot (www.startupriot.com) which is obviously east coast and significantly cheaper (attendees pay between $10 and $50 – presenters are, of course, free; lunch not included for anyone). I get 50 startups to present on stage for 3 minutes a piece. The selection process will be changing for 2010 (just had the 2009 conference in February) but still the same idea. Just an FYI.
