The World Cup Tech Challenge

about the event

In its 10th year, the World Cup Tech Challenge is now firmly established as the premier product launch platform for Technology startups from around the World. Technology is showing its magic in the casino industry as well. Online casinos have made it possible for gamblers to play from the comfort of their homes. Gamblers who do not want to go through the verification processes of online casinos may choose a site according to this list so that they can have a hassle-free gambling experience. The event, previously known as Launch Silicon Valley, is presented by SVForum and hosted by Microsoft. It provides the next generation of the hottest emerging technology companies with an opportunity to compete for the Cup, pitching their products to and networking with an audience of Silicon Valley’s top VCs, Angels, corporate business development executives, prospective customers and partners, bloggers and media.

24 startups compete for the Cup
