Techcrunch50 and Demo are two of the most premier tech events out there, and they both had their share of startup talent. This edition of 'Spotlight your Startup' features 12 startups from each, and you have until Monday to vote.

Over the last few weeks Sun Startup Essentials has been busy! We have attended NYC Entrepreneur Week, Mashable Nextup NYC, Ignite Boulder, and the Seattle 2.0 Awards. At all of these events we videoed individuals pitching their startups for 'Spotlight your Startup'. To vote you simply choose your favorite startup and text the name with 'startup' in front of it to 41411 (e.g. 'startup newco'). You can also check out the videos here: Spotlight your Startup: Coast to Coast.

Yep, it's time to vote for your favorite startup again. This time I met up with 20 at SxSW Interactive. Take a second and find your favorite video, then text 'startup [name of startup you're voting for]' to 41411. The winner will win a Flip camera like the one I filmed these guys on. You can also check them out at these urls.
