My conference is giving away $26k to 1 startup

We were at SuperConf last year (as one of the presenting companies) and got tremendous exposure. If you're a pre-series A start up, this is a perfect conference to practice your pitch at and to meet cool people. The speakers were also fantastic. This year's line up looks even better.

Just to nitpick: if you were really giving away $26K in cash, that would be something. It's $10K in cash, and $16K in services, and we all know how those services were priced. Still, $10K is pretty good.

Here is the breakdown: http://superconf.co/blastoff.php

The service credits are priced at face value (Except for GitHub which is a package) - maybe I'm misunderstanding your statement?

Also, I put in some time to create an infographic with some stats I compiled on other conferences.

TL;DR - In 2011, TechCrunch Disrupt was the best conference to launch at. You should still apply to present at my conference (SuperConf) anyway ;)

Seriously, if you're considering, stop considering and do this. It's my first time seeing what the Miami area has to offer and I want to be blown away.
