For the first time ever, Mashable readers get to pick a startup to get funded. The winning startup will receive a $50k seed investment from a real VC firm and access to an entire community to help them grow.
We are partnering with VenCorps to offer invites to the first 500 readers who register with the invite code “mashablerocks.” VenCorps is a community of entrepreneurs, investors and service providers focused on discovering, funding and growing startups. VenCorps is a project of New York venture capital firm Spencer Trask.
In VenCorps you can nominate and vote on startups between now and September 1st. During the month of September, the top 9 startups compete in a Mashable Showdown for the support of the community. The winning startup receives an investment of $50k and the right to ask for up to $5 million.
