It’s no secret that Big Data is hot. At O’Reilly’s upcoming Strata conference in New York, a panel of VC judges will be choosing the top firms with a Big Data story, who will present on stage during the Strata Summit on September 22.
I’m one of the organizers of Strata, and it’s a fascinating sector of the industry. New ventures live or dies by their ability to analyze data. Big companies can revitalize ailing product lines with data-driven sales. And elastic computing atop public clouds make new kinds of services possible.
If you’re a startup with a story to tell around data, or an established business that’s disrupting its industry with a new approach, we’d love to hear from you. You can apply at http://strataconf.com/summit2011/public/cfp/176, but don’t delay! Applications close on Monday, August 22 at 11:59 PM.
If you’re chosen, you’ll get access to the Strata Summit, gain exposure to hundreds of industry influencers, and get a chance to launch at the leading Big Data event.
Thanks for passing along the conference info. We just applied! Hopefully babysimplify.com will be chosen and represent Canada well! In the meantime, check out our Startup Weekend Toronto pitch at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NmguxIpeMk4 .
We’ve just sent our application as well. Wajam is crunching big social data and making it relevant when you need it :)
Good luck to all Canadian startups!
