GSC in Bloggerland - blogs about our international security startup competition

June 20 2008 | 0 comment(s)

Here is a brief roundup of a few blogs mentioning our cause of empowering security startups:

Sharon Weinberger at Danger Room: "More Prizes for Homeland Security Ideas"

"The Global Security Challenge is offering $500,000. My all time favorite acronym, TSWG, also known as the Technical Support Working Group, is sponsoring the prize. There are small prizes as well for specific ideas, like protecting crowded places... "

Jonah Czerwinski at Homeland Security Watch: "Innovation Competition Focuses on HLS Solutions"

"This year's Best Security Idea award is aimed to support researchers, infant companies with no revenue yet, and any other inventors who just have an idea for a security solution. Judges are seeking submissions with compelling "disruptive potential," rather than product maturity. The prize for this competition category is mentorship by Siemens Venture Capital and the opportunity to present the winning idea on stage of the GSC Grand Final in London."

Amir at Student Entrepreneurs - Agents of Change: "Business plan competitions are coming into fashion"

"Business plan competitions are coming into fashion. Most every major university has their own competition, and many organisations are starting to catch on and host their own. Still, relatively few - at least that I know of - are open competitions. One big one, that's open to the world, is the Global Security Challenge."

David Miller at Campus Entrepreneurship: "Global Security Comp is Back"

"The $500,000 Global Security Challenge is back for another year after a successful events the last two years. While this is a clearly a niche competition, the market it explores is huge and very important to people with a lot of money."
