Mike, thanks for letting the TC audience know about the Digital Mission – it’s worth pointing out there’s space for 25 companies on the Digital Mission to NYC. So, for companies interested in the US marketplace or US investment, there’s a good chance of getting a place:

A great opportunity for UK Startups to go and mix it up with the US, and with Bertrand having just been across at Northern Startup 2.0 and Fred touring Europe, East coast VCs are more open to European investment, so a great time to get over there and make the most of the networking opportunities….
Ours is in! Crossing our fingers
I think its just the deadline for the NYC event; the SXSW (according to the website) will be a separate list with a separate deadline? At least thats what I’d understood (and hope!)
