Pitch your business plan to VCs via mobile phone — on MyWaves
Summary
MyWaves, a Sunnyvale start-up that lets you shoot video with your mobile and email it to an online account where others can see it, has raised $6 million from Menlo Ventures. VentureBeat may write more about this company next week, but for now, we point to their latest gimmick: Pitch your start-up idea to a panel of high-profile venture capitalists in a competition than runs through Feb. 15. The winning entrepreneurs will be flown to Silicon Valley to present their business plans to partners from Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, Menlo Ventures, Redpoint Ventures, and Sequoia Capital. The winning plan is guaranteed 6 months of free office rent startup incubation facility Plug&Play. MyWaves has plenty of competition these days, Juicecaster, Veeker and Eyespot to name just a few.
