Live Broadcast - 20 UK startup companies

 

http://www.blogtalkradio.com/SunStartupEssentials 

So part of webmission, is networking and meeting new people, well if you are free UK time at 7.00 PM then listen live, to interviews with the startup companies, who are attending Webmission08 and will be at a brunch, kindly hosted by Susan MacTavish Best & Jim Buckmaster with sponsorship from BT, fantastic guys.

Ill be there, talking and interviewing as well, and will upload photos to demonstrate no one had hangovers, after the Sun/Techrunch party this evening. This is an exciting week, with the companies who are being given the chance to see the Silicon Valley in its true light, meet some of the key companies and VCs, thus build their network in a short space of time, that will pay dividends for them over time.

Sun Startup Essentials UK is proud to be the technology partner and working with Blogtalk Radio, has allowed me to open new channels for these companies to talk about themselves globally.

So tune in on Sunday Live

Sun is the technology partner for this event, and I will be working not
only with the 20 companies out there, to update them on startup essentials and how Sun supports Startups, but also I will be getting
them to spread the word, that Sun is the coolest company to work with,
we have more to offer

than any other vendor, due to our innovation and outreach. 
So why is Sun interested in Startups, ask these guys the same question.
