I've pitched at StartupRiot twice now and it gets better every year. Sanjay and his team put on an AMAZING event with great speakers. People like David Hauser, Andrew Warner, Robert Scoble etc have been there in the past.
It's a huge opportunity to meet people that can help you start or grow your company. DO IT.
I presented at Startup Riot and it was a life-changing day. There are great presenters to learn from, the chance to get some exposure and make connections with like-minded people and investors. If you're running a startup, this is a great opportunity to move it ahead.
