    Speed Dating For Startups

    If you’re an aspiring entrepreneur with a brilliant idea, make sure you check out this Thrillist/Samsung Video Contest. Here’s the deal: upload a 30-second video describing your startup plan from now until August 10th.  If you’re one of the three finalists, you’ll get called to pitch your idea in front of investors (including TechStars founder David Tisch!). The winner gets “1.) Services from the PR mavens at MRPR, KinPixel’s graphic design squad, and LiftFive’s social media gurus; 2.) A suite of Samsung Series 9 laptops whose 9.1 second boot time will build their start-up in no time; and 3.) The chance to be showcased on Thrillist — in other words, the ultimate business launch package that’ll get their start-up all started up.”
