GMIC SV will not only be welcoming companies from all over the world, but also up-and-coming mobile startups vying for the chance to win G-Startup. Over 120 startups from 24 countries applied for the two-day competition where a panel of judges then chose the Top 20 to compete on stage at GMIC SV.
G-Startup will also give the Top 20 an opportunity to enter Pitch Camp—where they’ll receive tips on the best ways to pitch their startup before taking the Main Stage in front of executives and investors on the 19th to compete for coveted prizes. Results will be announced on the 20th.
The winning startup will receive the opportunity to:
- Join InnoSpring, Chinaccelerator and Plug and Play incubation programs
- Have VC/angel investor funding
- Receive PR/marketing services
- Garner customers, clients and partners
And, for startups that are not competing, GMIC SV has also given them the chance to learn from successful entrepreneurs and venture capitalists during Fireside Chats.
