Your startup could win an eight-week trip to Silicon Valley: here’s how

In the world of startups, Silicon Valley is pretty the place everyone else has tried to ape. There’s a good reason for that too. The collection of Southern California towns has birthed some of the biggest technology companies the world has ever seen. And now, if you play your cards right, your startup could spend two months there soaking up all the knowledge on offer.

The eight week trip to Silicon Valley is the grand prize in SiMODiSA’s 10-10 event, which will pit 10 startups against each other in front of a thousand-plus strong crowd and several angel investors.

The trip includes airfare for two people, eight weeks of office space sponsored by SABLE, and access to various mentors and experts including acclaimed Stanford University representatives to assist them with their business in terms of either market expansion and/or to raise funds to scale their business.

Those startups which don’t make into the battle can also apply for exhibition space on the conference floor.
