I participated in this event in early 2006 and it help me gain the experience to win a MIT Best Business Idea presentation award. From there I was able to go to other events that eventually landed me a handful of angel investors. It is a perfect way to get constructive criticism for your passion and innovation. Everything that the story says is perfectedly representative. Now I am ready for the VC challenge with our DELL TOP 10 INNOVATION for our product http://www.MyOnlineToolbox.com. Any VCs ready to allow me to speed pitch?
