I team Amazon Web Services e TalentsMedia hanno fatto partire il conto alla rovescia per la partecipazione all’acceleratore tedesco consentendo alle start up di dare risalto alle proprie proposte attraverso i voti dei social media
Milano, 25 maggio 2012 – Manca poco meno di un mese alla chiusura delle iscrizioni a Startupbootcamp Berlino (17 giugno 2012) e il team sta collaborando con TalentsMedia e Amazon Web Services per offrire agli iscritti la chance di vincere un posto all’evento di selezione finale.
Startups can enter the competition by first applying to the program at www.startupbootcamp.org/berlin. They then head over to the Facebook page at www.facebook.com/startupbootcamp and click on the “Contest” app or by visiting http://startupbootcamp.talentschannel.com/. Teams need to upload a pitch video and get their fans, partners and family to support them by sharing their video link via Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, etc. The team that collects the most votes between May 22nd, 2012 to June 17th, 2012 will win the Wildcard Competition and be guaranteed an invitation to the Selection Day event for the top 20 finalists.
TalentsMedia is a social contest platform and the pioneer of the Wildcard Competition series that was inaugurated in Startupbootcamp Amsterdam earlier this year. Amazon Web Services has jumped on board to cover the hosting costs of the contest. They also offer Startupbootcamp teams with $1,000 in credit towards their hosting services during the program.
Alex Farcet, Managing Director for Startupbootcamp Berlin, is confident the platform that worked so well to help startups gain social experience and traction in Amsterdam will bring success for Berlin well. “The Wildcard competition concept worked superbly for Startupbootcamp Amsterdam and we’re looking forward to another social media storm as we close in on Berlin Startupbootcamp applications deadline June 17th. Steven Kraal and Talents Media team have been both creative and supportive in helping this come together and we look forward to more of the same.” Steven Kraal, Founder of TalentsMedia, found that it was only logical to expand the partnership through to Startupbootcamp Berlin. “We love to help startups and the Wildcard Competition offers them a great way to be in control of their own success.”
Startupbootcamp Berlin is pleased to announce this contest as a way to meet the teams and realize their networking abilities and social engagement marketing skills.
