Startup Challenge

You dream it up! We'll build it! (Apply by December 15th)

Expansion Bridge is excited to launch the first Jumpstart Your Startup Challenge. If you are an entrepreneur in the San Francisco Bay Area, this contest gives you the opportunity to take your mobile or web app from concept to launch.

 

The winning team will get their app built by our software consultancy team that will work with the winning co-founders to build their beta app. This is worth over $25,000!!

 

Participants maintain full ownership of the code and product.

 

Contest Steps

Step 1: Fill out the application online. You might continue updating your application until the contest deadline: December 15th, 2012.

 

Step 2: Provide us the wireframes or mock-ups of the key elements of your beta app (web or mobile), delivered as a slide deck or balsamic file. It should describe/illustrate key backend and front end functions, it doesn’t have to be pretty.

 

Step 3: Create a 2 minute pitch video marketing to consumers.

 

Step 4: Your part is all done! Our judges will be busy looking over your hard work!

 

Step 5: 5 finalist teams will be selected and notified on January 8th.

 

Step 6: Finalists will join us the week of January 14th 2013 in San Francisco for lunch and a round table to pitch their start-ups to investors and panelists and get feedback for their start-up .
