A catch phrase will go here soon.

The TechCrunch20 conference has been going so well that Mike, Heather, and I have decided to awards a huge $50,000 prize to the best company to present. This will of course be decided by our amazing expert panel which includes a bunch of tech legends.

I’m really proud of what we’ve done in such a short period of time with the event and I really hope this becomes a huge event every year where entrepreneurs can demo new companies WITHOUT having to pay for their time on stage. I’ve always had a huge problem with conference payola, and to shift the model to not only paid, but add prize money in the first year is a dream come true.

If you haven’t bought a ticket yet I highly recommend registering for the event soon because a) this is going to sell out and b) the discount period ends on July 15th.

Hello, my name is Jason. Welcome to my blog on the interwebs. You can reach me on twitter @jason and by email at jason@calacanis.com. My Skype is jasoncalacanis, and my mobile phone is 310-456-4900.

I only pick up numbers I recognize, and in terms of emailing me, the best strategy is to write short, blunt and to the point requests. I can quickly respond to short messages, and many times I simply don't have the time to read five page pitches. In terms of taking meetings, I only do that after reviewing an actual product (not a business plan). So, the best time to ping me is when you have mockups or an alpha site. I don't read business plans, and I've never written one.
