TechCrunch 50 vs. DEMO: Feh to Both of You
Link: You only get to lose your virginity once
However, I can’t imagine that I, as an entrepreneur, would choose to roll out my product at either conference. They’re both shitty deals for entrepreneurs. At TechCrunch50 there are 50 products. At DEMO there are 70. Since they’re happening the same week, at best I’m one of 120.
Dave Winer nails it. I’d take it a step further, though: I say, death to all dog-and-pony-show conferences that pointlessly pit startups against each other in a rabid scramble to appease “influencers”.
