Poll: Vote for your favorite entrepreneurial Tweet pitch |
Follow the ups and downs of a new Seattle startup in a series of behind-the-scenes posts by its founders.
Attention TechFlash readers: It's time to cast your vote for your favorite Twitter business plan pitch. A few days ago we asked entrepreneurs to Tweet their ideas under the hash tag #EUidol in order to win a free ticket to this week's Entrepreneur University and the chance to present a business idea at the conference.
We are now putting the top five Tweets up to a community vote, with the winner getting the free ticket and the opportunity to present at the conference. So, it's time to get to it and cast your ballot below for your favorite Tweet.
Those entrepreneurs already registered for the event who want to try to make a 60-second pitch can still submit their ideas to #EUidol on Twitter, with representatives from Northwest Entrepreneur Network choosing five more candidates at the conference. Happy Tweeting, and we'll see everyone on Thursday at Entrepreneur University. We'll notify the winner of the contest above later this week. UPDATE: Since we have such a tight race here, I am going to close down voting and announce the winner at noon on Wednesday.
