Dealmaker Media may have put together its best annual Under the Radar conference yet. This Thursday in Mountain View, California, more than 30 selected startups will show their wares and some world class technology speakers will offer their perspectives on the state of the industry. It’s not cheap to attend UTR, but RWW readers can get a $100 discount by following this link.
Those of us unable to attend should be able to see some of the highlights live via Robert Scoble’s cellphone and the streaming video service Qik. Speakers include the WSJ’s Kara Swisher, NYT’s Brad Stone and Amazon CTO Werner Vogels. Presenting companies, which both Richard MacManus and I helped select, include:
Act-On Software | Blist | Cozimo | DeviceVM |dimdim | DocSyncer | ELASTRA| Eyejot | FeedbackFx |filtrbox| Get Satisfaction | HiveLive | HubSpot | JumpBox | kwiry | LiquidPlanner | Magento | Marketo | Mumboe | NetBooks | NuConomy | Orgoo | PageOnce | Ribbit | SlideRocket | SlideShare | SupportSpace |TimeBridge | Tripit | Universant | Vello|Yoics
How “under the radar” are these companies? Some of them aren’t so much at all, it’s an increasingly competitive startup market for media to be first on. Nonetheless, the UtR folks always put on a great conference. It’s one of the few tech events where sessions are as worthwhile as conversations in the hall. I’d planned to be there myself but have been incapacitated by the SXSW flu.
