Opportunities: There's a great opportunity to sign up for SeedStart Media, a 12 week summer bootcamp for startups where each company receives 20k and mentoring and will take place at NYU's own Stern School of Business for the summer. The unique approach of the program is it is vertically focused on finding startups in the digital media space (ad infrastructure, mobile, digital content and ecommerce) and involves some of the largest media, advertising and tech companies in New York City (AOL Ventures, Comcast, Google, Hearst, MTV Networks, News Corporation, New York Times, Ogilvy, Time Warner, Vivendi and others) to work with the companies during the program. In addition, the companies will work with venture capitalists (Comcast Interactive, Contour, RRE, Polaris and NYC Seed) and entrepreneurs.
The program gives companies the ability to work closely with potential customers and funders and receive market and product feedback very early.
The application deadline is March 31. For more information and to apply go to
http://www.nycseedstart.com or

This is a great opportunity to accelerate your startup idea or prototype, get some funding, a lot of coaching and mentoring and visibility in front of some top notch NYC VCs, including yours truly. Also, for what its worth, NYU is an investor (limited partner) in NYC Seed and they very much would like to see some NYU-derived startups in their portfolio.
