"Startup Showcase"
summary
Judges lay out specific criteria — uniqueness, go‑to‑market, leverage — and spotlight startups that ship real products: a coupon-replacement using Facebook credits that shows 2x click-through, 5x conversion in A/B tests and monetizes by marking up credits plus transaction fees; a photo-album app that built a 400-person crowd album at SXSW and charges $30 for a 30‑page book; a hotel app with 50,000 downloads and a room-level database of 470,000 rooms aiming for 5M rooms and a paid “room request guarantee.”
