Get Ready for Pitch 2009!

Pitch 2009 is a unique startup competition open to early-stage ventures globally. Eligible startups are in alpha or beta stage, and must have at least one female founder. Deadline to apply: April 10th, 2009.

 "A recession is the best time to start a company.
  The opportunity cost is low, hiring good people is
  relatively easy, rent and equipment are cheap
  (sometimes free) and established competitors are
  focused on reducing costs & staying in business,
  not on innovation. The key is being in a good
  position when the economy picks back up."

  - Rebecca Lynn
    Principal, Morgenthaler Ventures
 "Some of the best products and services come out
  of some of the worst times. In the early 1990s,
  tens of millions of dollars had gone down the
  drain in a futile effort to develop 'pen computing'
  (early phase of mobile computing) and a
  recession was shriveling the economic outlook."

  - Chris Shipley
    Executive Producer, Demo; Co-Founder/Chairman, Guidewire Group
 "Pitch was the best thing to happen to Koollage.
  I met the right people to help me take my startup
  to the next level."

  - Mythili Sankaran
    Founder and CEO, Koollage

SDForum presents "The Business of New Media: Gaming, The New Frontier"
Friday, December 5th, 2008, 8:15am - 5:15pm
Microsoft Campus, Mountain View, CA
Cost: Early Bird pricing is until November 26th: $65 SDForum Members Price, $95 Non-SDForum Members Price, $40 Platinum Members (use coupon code: "Gaming08")

Following up on last year's highly successful conference, join SDForum as we continue to track what's happened since then and what it means for consumers and the face of "media" as we know it. This year's theme is gaming, the new frontier. The videogame business has been dominated by big developers, large budgets and blockbuster titles. New media is enabling small developers to successfully compete in bringing innovative web-and iPhone-based games to the market. Online casual gaming is attracting a new demographic, women, as opposed to first person shooter games that primarily attract men. Massively multi-player games enable millions to participate, creating a new social gaming environment and market. For registration and complete details, please go to www.sdforum.org/gaming08.
