@Simon – That’s not what I was told by the several startups who told me about the Mashup fees, however, happy to clarify the post.

Mike,

Thanks for the link to mashup* Demo – a few points of clarification:

1) mashup* demo is for all types of companies – large, growing and startups (over 30 companies have particiapted as a demo company at the 3 dedicated events we’ve held to date). Typically the ‘audience’ is a mix of executives, investors & entrepreneurs.

2) The fee is £200 (or £100 for very early-stage startup).
Each demo company gets up to 5 mins on stage to demo their service and a dedicated stand during the evening with wifi. They also get a level of awareness building prior to and following the event.

The £500 fee you mention is for mashup* Showcase Membership – this provides a startup, growing business or large corporate with the ability to demo at up to 4 mashup* events (demo and/or evening) per year and Personal Membership for 2 employees so they can attend all planned mashup* events, workshops, breakfasts and dinners during 2009 at no additional cost.

More information on that can be found here: http://issuu.com/mashupevent/docs/mashupshowcase

Could you update your post to ensure clarity – thanks.

Best regards,
Simon Grice

Tuttle Club is great but these days it is predominantly about the business of social media and surrounding issues/debates/consultancies. It’s not a pure-bred event for startups these days. That’s not meant to sound derogatory it’s just a statement of reality.
