What does a startup need most?
If you ask most entrepreneurs, money is probably at the top of the list. To help meet this need, MIT South Florida & MIF have teamed up to offer a lucky winner or winners the opportunity to compete for a $20,000 term sheet from MIF in front of the GeekTank panel for one night only.
If you are a technology startup building a SaaS product, gaming app, mobile app, software product, and/or a social networking product please submit your business plan to MIF via:

Even if you are not a startup, this is a unique opportunity for you to learn and gain first hand insights into how professional angel investors make the decision to put their money at risk.
There is no cost to submit your company and the deadline for submissions has been extended until June 12th, 2013 at 6PM!!!
