/in , /by


Irvine, CA (PRWEB) March 08, 2012

DishClips, an Orange County startup, took the grand prize of $ 10K as it placed first in the Digital Media category in this years Irvine Entrepreneur Forum, held at the Irvine Hyatt.

The Irvine Entrepreneur Forum (IEF), a signature program of the Irvine Chamber of Commerce, promoting entrepreneurship and economic developments, saw its biggest turnout with over 50 companies participating in its third annual business plan competition. Six finalists competed in the Shark Tank style presentations for the top prizes in digital and general categories. IEF, a gathering of entrepreneurs, venture capital executives, and angel investors, provides a platform for Orange County based startups to showcase their business plans.

DishClips launched its platform in November 2011, catering to diners by hosting HD video clips of food from restaurants. The company is positioning itself as the next-gen platform for restaurant marketing, leveraging the appeal of video and power of social media to help restaurants drive foot traffic by allowing diners to discover and share the dishes with their friends across their social graph. In the short time since its launch, DishClips has acquired 120 customers, including local favorites, The Anaheim White House, Opah Seafood, and Sabatinos. Im a foodie, and eat out a lot. About a year ago, I started to gather a video library of the food I enjoyed. I soon realized there was a demand for rich digital media in the restaurant industry, and DishClips was born, said Tan Rezaei. DishClips will expand into five additional markets and increase our base to 2,500 restaurants in the next 12 months.

Following the IEF, DishClips hosted its official launch event at the Astoria Tower in Irvine. It feels amazing to win, said Navid Firoozi. Weve always known the concept is great. Weve got a fully developed web application, and our customers and users love our offering, but we were up against stiff competition today. Were thrilled and look forward to achieving our next set of milestones, including our mobile applications, coming soon.

ASU, Caltech, UCLA and USC Showcase Top University Startups and Venture-Ready Technologies at Head Start(up) 2011 in Palo Alto

/in , /by

Palo Alto, CA (PRWEB) May 10, 2011

Arizona Technology Enterprises (AzTE), the exclusive intellectual property management and technology transfer organization of Arizona State University, today joined with the tech transfer offices of Caltech, UCLA and USC to host Head Start(up) 2011, a half-day conference in Palo Alto giving Silicon Valley investors a look at some of the universities most promising startups and venture-ready technologies.

The commercialization of university research generates new jobs, new companies and even entire new industries, said Augie Cheng, AzTEs managing director. The startups and technologies that ASU, Caltech, UCLA and USC are presenting have that same potential, and were excited to be doing this in a forum loaded with top venture capital firms and angel investors.

Universities continue to conduct the majority of basic research in the United States. In the last two decades, more than 75 percent of all industrial patents issued in the United States have cited academic research as a key source of new knowledge. Studies have also shown companies spun out of research universities have a far greater success rate than other startups.

Investors are always on the lookout for the next great university startup, said Steve Jurvetson, managing director of Draper Fisher Jurvetson. This event is a great way to see lots of technologies in a concentrated, efficient format. Im excited to see what the universities have to show us.

Approximately 60 invitation-only investors came from top Silicon Valley venture funds, including Draper Fisher Jurvetson, Intel Capital, Khosla Ventures, Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, Redpoint Ventures, Scale Venture Partners, Sofinnova Ventures and many others.

A full list of presented technologies and startups can be found on the conference website: http://www.headstartup2011.com/technologies.

About Arizona Technology Enterprises (AzTE)

AzTE is a non-profit organization that operates as the exclusive intellectual property management and technology transfer organization for ASU and its research enterprise. Comprised of industry and university veterans, AzTE brings together ASUs researchers and industry partners to transform discoveries into marketable products and services, taking innovation out of the lab and into the commercial marketplace. AzTE currently offers for licensing more than 300 novel technologies in the life and physical sciences. For more information: http://www.azte.com/.
