TechCrunch50 Girl Startup Report: SealTale

If you haven’t been checking out the TechCrunch50 event in San Francisco via U-Stream this week, it’s definitely worth a watch. The event, in its third year, has become a launch pad for great startups as well as incredible judges, panelists and speakers who give a good look into the minds of investors as they review ideas. Earlier today, the first female founder competing in the event showed her project. She hailed from Korea and gave a really fun presentation of it. After she showed the product, she faced a panel of very esteemed judges. You can watch the video (along with other finalist presentations) and read summaries on the TechCrunch site. 2009 has had some of the best companies seen yet to come out of the event. I especially liked the multiplatform toy, Story Something and a few others. It’s also a useful resource to watch how entrepreneurs pitch investors, and what investors ask and care about. We’ll be keeping tabs again tomorrow to see what else will be unveiled. Another bonus — Google’s VP of Search, Marissa Mayer, is one of the judges. I’m almost positive she was wearing Missoni. Represent! - Patricia
