First Round Capital Managing Partner Josh Kopelman, Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter and Robin Hood Ventures Executive Director Ellen Weber will judge Switch Philly 3 during Philly Tech Week‘s Entrepreneurial Track (presented by our friends at Morgan Lewis).
Yes, five locally-based entrepreneurs will be critiqued on stage by Kopelman, Nutter and Weber.
Get your early-bird tickets for only $5 here. Starting on April 1, tickets will jump to $10.
The tech demo event will feature five local startups all competing for a chance to win a prize pack that includes space at local incubators like Novotorium, meetings with investors around the city and pro-bono legal services. The goal is to “Switch” a local startup into the city’s next great startup success story.
If you’d like your company to be considered, please fill out our form.
Winners will be decided by a mix of judge feedback and voting from the audience using Yorn, a local mobile feedback startup. One of the five slots is reserved for the Startup Weekend winner and another from Mobile Monday’s demo event, both are taking place a few days before Switch.
After the jump see the complete list of prizes and judges.
