Honestly, I'm not even sure why Grockit is in the list, they've just raise $8M series B, its series B, I repeat. Would the 50K matter? I guess my point is why

I guess my point is why isn't the chance given to another startup that really needed the exposure and money.
- furiouslol 18y agoIt's more for the exposure than the prize money. Mint got lots of exposure after being the winner. I don't think they care much for the prize money. "why isn't the chance given to another startup that really needed the exposure and money." Why should they? It should be based on merit. If Grockit's product is great, they deserve their place there
- lakeeffect 18y agoit should be but only tech people care about this conference, if it was done by the inquistr.com it would have been off the hook, they cover more than just tech, and that is what our customers read.
- sdpurtill 18y agoMint, last year's winner, had already raised a big Series A and were probably in the process of raising their Series B before the conference started. They donated the $50k to charity.
