On June 18, 2015, Startup Voodoo will host its 2nd annual conference for thought leaders and the startup ecosystem at the Lumiere Hotel in St. Louis Missouri.
Part of the conference is the ‘Most Promising‘ competition where startups from around the country compete to win prize package worth $10,000 and funded generously by Daugherty Business Solutions. The prize package includes $5,000 cash, 10 hours of free legal services from the Polsinelli law firm, 10 hours of free marketing from Elasticity and new coverage in Techli.
Last year saw hundreds of applicants from around the country apply and in the end was this: LearnCore named Most Promising at Startup Voodoo.
The rules are as follows:
1. Startup must be less than two years in operation
2. No more than $150K in funding
3. Business focused on digital technology, bioscience or ag-tech spaces
