Subject: DEMO 2012 - Chance to Pitch!
Good evening everyone! 
Startup America has created a fantastic opportunity for 8 nationally selected companies to compete at DEMO Fall 2012.  This is a chance to follow in the footsteps of E*Trade, Salesforce, and TiVO along with countless other companies that launched at DEMO.  The only catch?  You have to win a spot via a pitch contest!

Startup Vermont is looking across the state for submissions to find the most innovative company!  All you need to do is submit a 1-minute video pitching your company, the problem you're addressing, why you are the most creative team, and why you are the most likely to succeed in the market with your idea.  This is a tiny effort, for a potentially huge reward!

The pitch contest begins Wednesday, August 8th, and ends Friday, August 17th. There will only be one winner from Vermont, so make the sixty seconds count.  The regional winner from Vermont will be announced on August 24th, and the 8 national companies selected to present at DEMO will be announced September 15th.

All the necessary information can be found here:   http://www.s.co/regions/demo2012

Please call or email me if you have any questions, and good luck!

Best regards,

Andrew Stickney
