GroupStream a Finalist for Start with Google
GroupStream, the group storytelling platform that powers 2011 TFI New Media Fund recipient 18 Days In Egypt, has been named one of the 50 finalists for the Start with Google.
Through the initiative, Google will be awarding one lucky Egyptian entrepreneur with up to $200,000 in seed capital. From NextWeb:
The top 50 candidates will now be moving on to a mentoring phase, with two mentors per startup. These mentors will stick with their startups as they progress through the coming phases of the competition. The up-and-coming entrepreneurs will also have the opportunity to take part in workshops which include business skills training sessions, motivational speeches and more.
At the end of the mentoring phase, candidates will have to submit a business summary, and will also be given the opportunity to meet with angel investors, while the semi-finalists will be announced in mid-March.
GroupStream allows users to contextualize and archive videos, photos, tweets and other electronic media, in the case of 18 Days in Egypt allowing the creation of themed multimedia streams like "The Egyptian V."
