Commonred Launches VIP Contests To Let Entrepreneurs Pitch Top VCs, Angels (And Win A Meeting)
In July, we covered the launch of a new Vaporware Labs (a software company that makes social, mobile, and web apps, like Steve Young Football for the iPad and iPhone, and MEETorDIE) service, called Commonred, which is attempting to take the "cold call/email/approach out of the networking process". Commonred was essentially launched to not only help startup founders -- but anyone in need of some professional networking -- to more easily find shared points of interest between themselves and those they want to meet, network, or learn from. (Without the awkwardness.)To beef up its offerings for entrepreneurs and founders out there looking to have their ideas heard by people who matter, Commonred has launched a series of VIP meetings contests in which founders and entrepreneurs now have the opportunity to pitch VCs, journalists, Angels, and tech big wigs in an effort to push their businesses forward. The pitch with the most votes then wins a meeting with the person of interest, and, hopefully, the rest is history.Original Link: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/pCO-Rj0RlcA/
