NVIDIA Offering $100,000 To The Right GPU-Powered Startup

The welcome mat’s out. We’re looking for a dozen would-be competitors for the Early Stage Challenge – where hot young startups using GPUs vie for a single $100,000 on-the-spot prize. Here’s how it works: CEOs get four minutes to pitch their company to a panel of venture capitalists, and then another four minutes to handle questions. The VCs, together with the audience, immediately choose a winner. To raucous applause, the beaming CEO lopes back on stage to an outsized $100,000 check. It will all take place in a furious two hours at our sixth annual GPU Technology Conference, on March 17-20, in Silicon Valley, which last year drew some 3,400 attendees from 40-plus countries.
