OverviewStartup 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. The winners of the regional pitch competitions will travel to Silicon Valley for a grand showdown at the end of 2012.
Why are we doing this?Much like competing on American Idol, selling a business idea requires raw talent, mastery of the material, and command performance. So this year we've launched Startup World — our global answer to the hit singing competition.
While most media is currently focusing on Silicon Valley, we want to shine a light on entrepreneurs in emerging markets.

Startup World DocumentaryIn a partnership with The Next Web, Startup World will be documenting the startups they meet and highlighting the different tech-hubs across the world.
In each city, the team will interview the local Startup World winner as well as the big players in that city. The goal is to showcase the different problems entrepreneurs are solving in emerging markets and the challenges they face in building their companies. Startup World will also be touring offices of global startups and co-working spaces.
Each video for the 36 cities will last 2-3 minutes and will be published on The Next Web shortly after leaving each city. This content will also be shared to our partners and their media networks.
