Pleth, and .Buzz, are co-sponsoring the 2014 LaunchPad Business Startup Competition here in Conway that will ring in the festivities leading up to Toad Suck Daze. The winner of the start-up competition will receive a cash prize of $15,000.00 to help bring their product or service to market –but that’s not even the big news… are you ready for this?
We are bringing in the one and only Stanley Burrell to head up our panel of judges, oh yeah… you might know him as MC Hammer!! That’s right, it’s hammer time. A lot of people might find this hard to believe but Hammer is extremely active in silicon valley and throughout the start-up subculture, having launched a few tech start-ups of his own –so yeah, he knows what he’s talking about. In addition to MC Hammber, we also have Jonathan Sasse & Nada Stirratt on our judges panel.
If you are a start-up, it’s not too late to get involved, you can visit: http://startup.buzz and enter for your chance to present your business or idea to MC Hammer and be awarded $15,000.00. Needless to say, everyone at Pleth is very excited about being a part of the first-annual LaunchPad business start-up competition, and really looking forward to working w/ MC Hammer!! I might even get him to teach me some dance moves if we have time…
Now, if you are a gen-x’er and have no idea who MC Hammer is, here you go…
