There will be a panel of successful entrepreneurs and investors who will be at the event. This panel will have a few moments to ask a few questions following each pitch.

The reason we are requiring this, is a group of investors who would like to review what companies are pitching and the potential opportunity before the event. This is required. So if you are interested in pitching please email me at dan@startuppop.com and I can send you this document to fill out. Start-ups who are pitching also can send us up to 4 power point slides or a link to a demo site.

The start-up companies pitching have up to 3 minutes to answer 5 common questions about their business:

What is their product/service?
What is their business model?
Size of the Market they serve?
How do they get to market or get traction?
What are they here looking for? Capital, Partners, Advisers, etc..

Introducing StartupPOP BLAST!

StartupPOP BLAST is a new online promotion tool for Products, Services & Events which will get your message out to the tech community. Right now we are focused primarily on South Florida, but we are also focusing on getting products and services noticed nationally and globally. To learn more about StartupPOP BLAST go to http://startuppop.com/blast/ and sign up today.

Who is StartupPOP BLAST for?

StartupPOP BLAST is for companies of all sizes who want to get their message out to the tech community. If they have an EVENT, PRODUCT or SERVICE and just one sale can pay back for this exposure, then it is definitely worth the investment. It is a great product for small to large companies that know that getting links and exposure in the tech community will turn into leads and revenue!

What exactly is StartupPOP BLAST?

It is the same thing we do to promote this event! Just imagine your message right here being read by thousands just on this Meetup! Now That makes sense!

We at StartupPOP will hand write 4 blogging articles about your product, service or event and then will create as many as 30 inbound links that will be indexed by Google and Bing using 12 separate forms of online tools and media using written content, video, and streaming video. The end result is getting your message out to a "tech savvy" audience of anywhere between 10,000 and 300,000 people. This depends on how hot your search terms are. Best of all, this content will go on to promote YOU into the future over the years to come. Go to http://startuppop.com/blast/ and sign up today.

Why Is StartupPOP BLAST Different?

This is not an SEO service, a Social Media service, an Email Newsletter only or simply writing a blog or creating a website. It is a mega-combined method of all of these things in one big promotion by StartupPOP BLAST, a trusted third party about YOU. So, you don't have to build up a following on social media to do this. http://startuppop.com/blast/ and sign up today.
