It's the final count down. Just 7 more hours left to apply for a chance to pitch at SeedCon!
As an organizer, I sadly can't apply to participate, so instead I'm living vicariously by obsessively clicking refresh on Wufoo to see what new entries are coming in. And I have to say, I am so impressed! There is so much creativity and ingenuity in this city! It's going to be very difficult to pick the 8 semi-finalists.
So entrepreneurs, if you're finishing the final details of your fast-pitch application, hang in there! Get it done, hit submit, and then treat yourself to an awesome Halloween weekend.
And if you're still on the fence, jump on it! It's worth it for a chance to pitch in front of Chicago's top investors and innovators, and win over $70,000 in start-up friendly prizes. Yes, we said $70,000 -- the prize keeps growing and it's not going to stop any time soon.
The deadline is tonight (Thursday, October 27th) at 11:59pm CST!
