MONTREAL & NORWALK, Conn.--()--As yet another critical endorsement of its unique program, Embrase Consulting today introduced Twilio as a Platinum Sponsor for its StartupCamp Telephony at ITEXPO EAST 2010, in Miami. StartupCamp Telephony is a new forum that brings together early stage companies, investors and industry leaders alike to share information, counsel and to validate pitches in real time.
“Supporting an ecosystem that rewards developers for building business solutions is what Twilio is all about, and we're proud to sponsor StartupCamp Telephony.”
Jeff Lawson, Twilio CEO, commented, "Supporting an ecosystem that rewards developers for building business solutions is what Twilio is all about, and we're proud to sponsor StartupCamp Telephony." Twilio is for developers, by developers, and it would be hard to find an event more aligned with our vision than this one, Lawson added.
Five startups will be selected to give 5-minute “pitch” presentations at StartupCamp Telephony, after which the expert panel and audience will engage in a Q&A and review of each plan. Early-stage companies wishing to be included in the pitch roster should apply online to present. (http://scte.wikidot.com/startups-attending)
