The top 20 finalists will film a video pitch jointly on broadcast television and online video, and the public will vote on three winning companies, who will spend three months building their start-ups in Cambridge, Mass with a team of expert consultants, advisors programmers and financial backers.
"We live in a culture of entrepreneurs, but so many great business ideas are overlooked because they don’t have access to money and resources, as well experienced advisors and the media,” said Mark Modzelewski of Bang Ventures. You Be the VC will create incredible opportunities by reinventing venture capital and reinvigorating the startup process by transforming great ideas into great companies.”
Start networking with other entrepreneurs, inventors, and dreamers like yourself. Brainstorm, get ideas, meet new friends, and maybe even find your future business partner or investor!
There are only giving away a couple hundred thousand to the winner but it might be what you need to kick start the next Facebook.
