NAB Show is launching SPROCKIT from April 7 until April 11 during the NAB Show. With the tagline, “Gearing Startups for Glory,” SPROCKIT is a new programme which will give 10 market-ready startup companies the opportunity to present their product or service directly to influencers in media and entertainment. During the custom-curated, invitation-only experience, startups will present their offerings live to decision makers, industry visionaries, global media and potential funders at the 2013 NAB Show.
SPROCKIT gives emerging entrepreneurs and their innovations broad exposure through NAB Show. The 10 selected participants will have pre-scheduled meetings with C-level corporate executives and media outlets, and deliver on-stage presentations alongside some of the biggest names in the industry. The programme has been created in partnership with World Series of Start-Ups, LLC and Springboard Enterprises.
“We know that front and centre visibility and facilitated connections are invaluable for early-stage innovators,” said Kay Koplovitz, chairman, Springboard Enterprises. “SPROCKIT and NAB Show are providing these entrepreneurs with unmatched access to key decision-makers in media and broadcasting to accelerate their startup innovations.”
Throughout the programme, startup leaders will meet one-on-one with seasoned entrepreneurs and industry experts for individualised support. Participating startups are currently being evaluated and will be selected by Angel Capital Association, Dell Founders Club, NAB Show, National Venture Capital Association, Startup America Partnership, The Paley Centre and Springboard Enterprises. SPROCKIT is sponsored by Convergent Wealth.
