More places for startups to get attention can only be a good thing. I hope The Launch Conference is a big success. I don't know why money has to be such a big part of it though. Paying $2000 for a ticket seems ridiculous. And giving $50k to the winner is kind of meaningless too (did Mint really need it?) All startups really want is a chance to show press and VCs how awesome their thing is. How about $50 per ticket and the winner gets an additional "finale" presentation or something?
