A catch phrase will go here soon.

We get this question a LOT: 

Q: To qualify for LAUNCH 1.0, does the product need to be finished or near completion to apply?

A: Our goal is to have companies open their sites, at least for beta clients, at the event.

We expect that folks applying for LAUNCH 1.0 — especially those applying in December and January — will have only partially functional sites, so we accept screen shots/mockups and even wireframes for sections of the site that are not yet complete.

In your application, simply state: "Here are the pieces of the site that are complete, and here are the pieces that will be ready for
the LAUNCH conference."

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.
