When I came into the industry in the 90s, I couldn't afford the $2,000 to $5,000 it cost to attend an industry event
… and the DEMO conference was charging tens of thousands of dollars to let you on stage to show you the product — I couldn't afford the $20,000 for that either
So I created TechCrunch50 and then rebranded it LAUNCH FESTIVAL and featured free tickets for founders
… and made it free and merit based to be on stage.
… and I gave a $25,000 prize to the best start-up
Today, I'm bringing LAUNCH Festival back as a way to pay it forward to founders starting their careers
LAUNCH FESTIVAL is back… March 16 & 17 in San Francisco
This is the demo-or-die format I created for TechCrunch50 back in the day.
3 minutes to pitch your vision to a panel of investors and founders
Always free for early-stage founders.. unlike other competitions — and you can’t buy your way on stage like other events
We’re going to focus on OpenClaw & agent startups (mostly) for these two days — please apply at the website (link in reply tweet)
We have 400 seats…

There are two kinds of people in this world— those who swallow their bubblegum and those who don't. Which one are you?
Why are we asking? There's only one way to find out...

Brands today are using #OOH to be inescapable.
Even the sharpest of #AI tools could not produce the information we're giving up in this blog.

Sept 14 is Innovation Day in SD. In most regions, they rent a hotel ballroom. In San Diego - we take over a whole damn MLB ballpark.

Automation is on the rise with the emergence of cloud computing and artificial intelligence platforms.
But which platforms are actually legit? ✋Raise your hand if you think it's hard to tell.
@wrapify is the perfect partner to aid in establishing that credibility.

A buddy was over at my place this weekend.
I asked - "How's work going?"
He responded with general niceties and then proceeded to vent about his "boss":
"... he dominates meetings, wants all of the attention and notoriety, and only thinks HIS ideas are…lnkd.in/gPdTW7xW

These “trucks” were designed to be wrapped. Hat’s off to the Wrapmate crew for bringing this to market.
