Are you ready for some pitching?

Apparently the startup "pitching" season is here. Several pitching events for small startups are happening these two weeks. A few of us went to the pitch 11 event last week happened in AT&T park. Talking and walking in a space filled with over 90 startups can be a bit overwhelming, but it was a fun experience to see what everybody else has been up to in the valley, or even all around the world (some startups came as far away as Denmark, Korea, and Pakistan). So here are some image recaps from the event:

Another big pitch event happened yesterday in San Francisco Design Center. It was the DISRUPT event hosted by TechCrunch. As TechCrunch has been this great advocate for IT startups, DISRUPT attracted over 100 startups for showcase their products or prototypes in the 'startup battlefield' event. It's interesting to see how some startups attended both the Pitch 11 and this DISRUPT event. Personally, I think DISRUPT did attract some more mature startups, mainly due to DISRUPT itself is a 3-day event with other types of tech/business activities (panel discussions, press conferences, etc.) as well. Also, the fact that TechCrunch, the host, is a great PR platform for startups, might have added more attractions to small to medium size startups.

EchoUser is still waiting for our first pitching opportunity to come up. Our EchoUser Analytics Tool will be the focus of our pitching. Our awesome EchoUser interaction designer and visual designer have already come up with some pretty cool mobile design concepts for the tool, so let's wait and see :D
