Start-Up World Returns to TECHXNY - Explosion of Entrepreneurs, Corporate Alliances and Angel Capital

    NEW YORK, April 15 /PRNewswire/ -- Start-Up World returns to TECHXNY on
June 25th. With over 20 early stage investors to adjudicate their business
plans, entrepreneurs get a chance to be heard and hear what the investment and
corporate development community is willing to back.
    Now in its 3rd year at TECHXNY, this venerable pitching series produced by
the iBreakfast executive networking organization has helped "Entrepreneurs of
all ages" raise over $6.5 million.
    "The Start-Up marketplace has experienced a quiet resurgence. It is an
early indicator of economic recovery," says Start-Up World Program Director,
Alan Brody, "and investor money that has been sitting on the sidelines is
beginning to return.
    "TECHXNY is a critically important venue for Start-Up World because it
brings Entrepreneurs before corporate developers for strategic relationships
just as much as it attracts Angel capital. At this time of financial
constriction and the closing of the IPO market, strategic relationships are a
critical survival option for many Start-Ups and investors alike."
    All technology and digital media companies may submit a business plan by
registering at http://www.techxny.com or at http://www.Start-upworld.com .
    This full day event will feature over 40 presenting companies, 20
prominent early stage investors and corporate partnership executives and
bootcamp sessions covering:

     *  How to refine your pitch
     *  What investors want to hear in a pitch
     *  How to find money and identify its source, and
     *  How to understand valuation and negotiate a term sheet

    Success Stories:
    Partsearch Technologies and Salsa Technologies are two companies that
began the process of getting funded thanks to investor presentations and
contacts made at Start-Up World. Partsearch, a parts and accessories tracking
and replacement service for consumer electronics retailers, raised $4 million
and Salsa Technologies, a wireless development tool vendor, raised
$2.5 million.

    TECHXNY, New York's leading technology event, will feature key conferences
on technology integration and security / business continuity, special events
and summits on storage, XML and web services, digital video, Mobile
Connections Conference, as well as dedicated content for women in technology
and small business.  In its 20th year, PC EXPO -- the exposition portion of
TECHXNY -- will showcase innovative computing solutions, technologies and
products for large and small businesses. Products and services on display will
include servers, desktops, handhelds, Web services products, database
