VatorThe submission deadline for the Vator Splash NY event is coming up in two weeks on December 2. Be sure to enter the Vator Splash NY competition before the deadline.

Vator is looking for the most promising startups to present onstage at Webster Hall in New York City on December 15. We know that New York, and the East Coast in general, is becoming a hotbed for emerging companies — and venture capitalists are seriously taking notice. RRE Ventures is backing Vator Splash NY to ensure that the event is one that rocks the house. The event will have an open bar from 4 pm to 11 pm. So, it’ll not only be a great event to be onstage, it’ll be a fun networking evening for all.

If you’re a startup that’s under three years old, or looking for a stage to launch, be sure to apply today. Ten finalists will make the stage and get in front of venture capitalists from RRE Ventures, Polaris Ventures, Greenhill SAVP, Venrock, TechStars, DBJ Capital, and NY Seed.

In addition, two of New York’s sharpest entrepreneurs will share their nuggets of wisdom about entrepreneurship. Fresh off the Boxee launch, Avner Ronen, CEO of Boxee will talk about launching in the highly competitive set-top box space against Apple, Google, Roku etc. and Blip.tv co-founder and CEO, Mike Hudack, will talk about how his efforts to build knowledge management software resulted in Blip.tv.
