<span><br></span><div style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Our goal is to create a renaissance of startup activity via a global
startup competition based in Massachusetts. Starting in Spring 2010,
MassChallenge will attract thousands of new businesses and pair them
systematically with the resources they need to launch and achieve rapid
growth. Every entrant will receive access to training, mentors,
executives, other team members and sources of funding. Experts from the
Massachusetts ecosystem will identify the highest potential startups,
which will receive cash prizes and will qualify for privileged access
to funding sources from across Massachusetts and New England.<br><br>March 3<br>4:30pm - 8:00pm<br><br><font style="font-family: times new roman,new york,times,serif;" class="Apple-style-span" color="#0e0e0e" size="3"><font class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 12px;"></span></font></font>See attached flyer for more details<br><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'" size="4"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 16px;"><font class="Apple-style-span" color="#0e0e0e"><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Helvetica" size="3"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 12px;"></span></font></font>--<br></span></font><div>
