Hundreds of startups will be attending SXSW trying to get exposure for their company and mission. Qukku has partnered with HATCH Pitch to give contest-winning companies a chance at 1 minute of glory in front of a room full of super cool and influential people that are looking to uncover the next big thing.

Here's how to get involved: create a video to help potential investors and customers understand your idea in a creative and engaging way. Making a pitch on a web cam is not what we are looking for! More like a laid back or funny video about your idea, company, and/or team. Just have fun with it! Once your video has been submitted, gather votes from your supporters, friends, and family - because the video with the most votes wins!

The top three videos will be shown at the HATCH Pitch event in front of their amazing audience of over 200 well-connected investors and entrepreneurs! Creating something fun and engaging will capture the attention of this amazing audience and give you an extra boost of exposure at this noisy conference. That's right ... your video will command the attention of an overflowing room of 200+ people.

Voting close time is based on Central Standard Time (CST).
