Hi, I work for a Fortune 10 company and my Emerging Technology team is going down to Austin in October to host an internal "Startup Day" event. In short, we find interesting tech startups with new products or services that we think our company could use and then we give them each 10 minutes in front of a global IT audience to make their pitch. After they pitch, we then host a lunch where they can make contacts with IT leaders and execs.
Because we're hosting this one Austin, I really want to focus on Austin-area startups, but we could use some help getting some leads.
Sorry, I'm not sure I'm allowed to reveal the name of my company in this forum, but if you're clever you'll figure it out anyway. Either way, if you have or know of an Austin area startup with a product that a large global corporation may be interested in, please contact me.
I've been a member of HN for a while under an alias, but I'm being myself for this post. I hope this doesn't break any rules for solicitation -- I'm not selling anything! I just thought the HN community would be a good way to reach some startups that could benefit from this free event.
