Our Grand Jury of seasoned investors and top journalists will observe all the main-stage action and choose our winners, while our judges will sit on stage and give instant feedback on every demo. Plus we’ll have hundreds of already launched startups in our Demo Pit — those that most impress the Grand Jury will get to present on stage.

Here are some of the latest updates for the 2013 show:

1) Fireside chats with Ev Williams and Chamath Palihapitiya

We are honored that Ev (co-founder of Twitter, CEO at The Obvious Corporation) and Chamath (former FB exec & partner, The Social + Capital Partnership) will sit down with Jason for fireside chats!
