What is your billion-dollar idea?
“With the start-up competition MLOVE creates opportunities for mobile start-ups by exposing the best of mobile to media partners and the VC community. An inspiring speaker list, a very engaged audience and a lively and surprising agenda in a magic place on the Pacific beach of California,” stated Harald Neidhardt, Founder of MLOVE.
The hot topic of the MLOVE ConFestival USA 2013 is the “Lifestyle of Mobility” – the cross roads where mobile meets immersive experiences: connected cars, context aware apps & services, AI, wearables, Internet of Things and the Arduino maker movement.
„It is fantastic to have the chance to meet such a high class audience in a family-like atmosphere. Most events do not allow for a proper exchange between speakers, participants, startups and artists. That is why I believe the MLOVE ConFestival is different to so many other events and that is w hy it is such a great chance for Start-Ups“ says Gabriella Draney, Executive Director of Tech Wildcatters, a top 10 Accelerator according to Forbes Magazine.
MLOVE stands for disruption, innovation, inspiration and a Lifestyle of Mobility. The judges will be looking for start-ups that reflect these values. Cool new apps, or disruptive new services where mobile is a remote control to our lives should all apply.
The competition is open to companies worldwide that have raised less than $2 million and were founded after January 1, 2011.
The MLOVE event is a highly interactive format that focuses on collaboration, sharing of ideas and an engaging open innovation session called Future Cubes.
Speakers at Monterey will include Jérôme Nadel (Rambus), Urvi Bhandari (AT&T), Renate Nyborg (Edelman), Jennifer Pabian (Samsung), Rasheq Zarif (Mercedes-Benz R&D), Amish Patel (Microsoft), Justin Moon (QNX) and Sylvie Barak (Amtel). 30+ speakers rep resent Swiftkey, frog design, Tempo.ai, Sphero, NanoSatisfy, Singularity University and more.
