Startup World is an initiative to promote startups, entrepreneurship and technology through a global competition to find the world’s most innovative startups. We have identified 36 tech hub cities around the world and will hold regional pitching competitions, with ten entrepreneurs pitching to a panel of expert judges in each city.

Grand Prize package includes:

• 3 month incubation period worth $30,000 at i/o Ventures
• 1 year of Rackspace hosting worth up to $24,000
• 5 million Echo real-time streams per month for 1 year worth $30,000
• International media coverage of your startup

Mexico City is our first stop. The winners of the regional pitch competitions will travel to Silicon Valley for a grand showdown in early 2013.
