With just over a week left to submit your application for this year’s PITCH NYC 2012 Startup Competition – I’m excited to introduce online application judge Laurel Touby of Mediabistro fame.

She is active in the NYC startup community, having founded Mediabistro and as CEO, pulled the company through two recessions, pivoted, managed growth with minimal resources – and sold the company for $23M earlier this year.

After exiting her company, Laurel began advising select seed-stage startups and investing in others.

She is also a mentor at TechStars and host of the Cereal Entrepreneurs Breakfast in New York.

Applying to PITCH NYC by August 31, 2012 means you get your startup in front of investor eyeballs, including those of seed-stage investor Laurel Touby.

Don’t forget we’ve lowered the cost of applying to PITCH NYC to $50 – so start your application today! You can update the application online anytime up until the closing deadline of August 31, 2012 at midnight (EST). If you have any questions on the application or eligibility, email [email protected].

Best of luck, everyone!
