Multi-exit Entrepreneur, Deal-Maker & Industry Veterans Crowd this year's Judging Bench
Norwalk, CT - January 9, 2013 - TMC and EMBRASE Business Consulting announced the judging panel for StartupCamp7: Comms Edition, collocated with ITEXPO Miami 2013, on January 31 at the Miami Convention Center in Miami, Florida.


StartupCamp is a unique forum for early-stage entrepreneurs to pitch their communications offerings to a discriminating audience of industry influencers, media, potential investors and customers who gather for an evening of rich networking. John Sculley, former CEO of Apple (News - Alert)/President of Pepsi, and recognized leader in big brand marketing, kicks off evening as the keynote speaker.

StartupCamp7 Judging Panel Includes:

  • Craig Walker, CEO of Firespotter (News - Alert) Labs, a telecom focused incubator that's launched UberConference, Nosh, NoshList and Jotly since its founding in April 2011.
  • Jeff Uphues, Vice-President, Cbeyond (News - Alert), a leading communications provider that delivers cloud services and communications to SMBs.
  • Gerry Dehaven, senior partner, QAdvisors, a top merger and acquisition firm deeply rooted in technology, communications and business services.
The panel will be moderated by serial entrepreneur Gary Pudles, CEO of AnswerNet (News - Alert) which was recently named a 'Best Run Company' by SmartCEO.
"StartupCamp is designed to foster entrepreneur success in the communications industry," said Larry Lisser, co-founder of StartupCamp. "With this mind, each year we build out an expert judging panel to offer constructive feedback on stage, and to create access to high-impact relationships for the presenting startups.'
The fast-paced, "ready, set, pitch" format of StartupCamp will offer four pre-selected early-stage companies the opportunity to validate their pitches in real time and network with potential investors and partners. Companies developing offerings enabled by communications technologies such as voice, SMS and video, that are under three years old and are angel or privately funded, should apply for a 'pitch slot' here.  The deadline to apply is January 13, 2012.
