Free is always welcomed and that said, Good morning, All, and we’ve always said that what every startup needs is…help. And exposure doesn’t hurt either, especially when along with it comes…help.

So, Job Generation is coming up next week – May 4th, to be exact. This Ibreakfast.com event is an excellent way to get you story out to VCs – and maybe show up on TV. In this forum, experienced executives get to advise you on how they would run your company; VCs will judge your business plan and you get advice and buy-in from investors in return. One company raised 10x the norm by dealing with one of these execs ($900K for a FaceBook-based start-up) through a savvy deal with connected investors. Participants at the last show received exposure on NY1 and all over the TimeWarner cable system.

Start-Ups: To enter, send your business plan to bp@ibreakfast.com or go to www.ibreakfast.com and use the Submit Business Plan link.

Executives: To enter, send your resume to exec@ibreakfast.com

First 10 applications are free – whether you’re chosen to participate this time or not – otherwise attendance is $30.

But wait! There’s more! Like an SOS code that gives you a 30% discount (code: SOSlist), so it’s really $20 to attend for StartupOneStop members. http://jobgeneration.eventbrite.com/

We did attend last time and it was a lot of fun listening to the startups pitch, and hearing the seasoned executives – and the investors – react and coach and we will also admit that sitting home and watching “Dancing With the Stars” really isn’t our cuppa.

Also, early bird registration for SAI Startup 2010 ends soon – and SOS members get a 20% discount. Register at http://startup-2010.eventbrite.com/?discount=StartupOneStop .

Hope to see some of you at SoCin’s closing night tonight, and in the meantime, help is on the way…

Good morning, All, and yes, we’re sponsoring and passing along a bit of the largesse. First three people to respond get a free pass. It starts this evening and the link to register is in the post below, so email us now (hello@startuponestop.com) but if we haven’t responded within 10 minutes, assume they’re taken and we still hope to see you there!

Also, Job Generation is coming next week and if you’re a startup who’d like to present, again, email us and don’t forget – it is a unique way of getting your startup in front of potential investors. And get some great feedback as well. More info about the event is in the post below. We have quite a few new startups on the list this week, and you all should go to the link and think about presenting. Do us proud!

I know we usually have more to say, but between peeling off the moss that’s gathered from all the rains that just hit NYC and well, allergy problems, we’re keeping it short and pithy. Relish the silence while it’s here and in the meantime, help is on the way…

Good morning, All, and what a news week, eh? Next gen iPhone revealed. Crain’s New York Business reporting that NY’s startup funding is rising as Silicon Valley’s falls. (Blip or trend? No answer yet, but latest quarterly data show the venture capital industry is healthy here. Hot money likes Pierpoint, Yodle and, of course, FourSquare.) full story is here: http://www.crainsnewyork.com/article/20100416/SMALLBIZ/100419903

And next week is Social Cinema week! More info in the post below and StartupOneStop is one of the sponsors, so we do hope to see at least some of you there.

To the startups on the list: Job Generation is still open to including some of you in the May 4th event – email hello@startuponestop.com if you want to participate and it is a unique way to get in front of investors. It’s quite enjoyable as well – we did go to the last one and the story was reported on NY1, so think about it.

Ah, nothing like opportunities and speaking of which, help is on the way, from several quarters, it seems…

Good morning, All, and a heads up on a few things this week…

And/or in the coming weeks.

Chris Dixon is the guest VC at the Entrepreneurs Roundtable this week – April 26. Chris is Founder Partner at Founders Collective and Co-founder of Hunch.com and if you’d like to apply to pitch, or attend (it’s free), the information is in Murat’s post below, so read on…

Also this week, as we’re sure most of you are aware, is the 140 Character conference and the Entrepreneurs Conference at the Stern Business School at NYC. The EC is free and more information at: http://www.0260nyc.com/index.html

But wait, there’s more! Job Generation is coming up on May 4th and we also need investors/VC’s (and I know you guys are out there on this list) to critique the startups who will be pitching. So, if you’re interested in participating, email us at hello@startuponestop.com. And the entrepreneurs are welcome to come pitch your startups as well. Hey, we’re bringing this community together. It’s a good thing!

I know this is an industry that LOVES to hold conferences, and there have been quite a few of them lately – not to mention the number of new lists that tell you were all the conferences are and I suppose, where you should be. Think things are heating up or is it that the change in the weather is bringing everyone out again? Then again, it does give us a chance to grow our twitter, linkedin and facebook lists and check in at foursquare, and card scanning has become so, well, 90’s anyway.

But we do hope you’re taking some time out of your busy days because it’s that time again, and yes, help is on the way…

Good morning, All. It was just a thought, and for all we know, T.S. Eliot was just a fellow allergy sufferer.

Anyway, happy April 15 (is that an oxymoron?) and a heads up to the startups on the list: Job Generation is looking for a few good startups to present at their next event. In case you don’t know the drill: This event gets you in front of VCs in a whole new way. 5 Start-Ups will present their plans to the audience, after which a select group of CEOs will offer their leadership and sales strategies. A team of early stage VC’s will adjudicate them – determining which execs are most likely to add value to the companies. The official post will be coming soon, but if you’re a startup and want to participate, email us at hello@startuponestop.com.

Exactly what time does the post office close?

We have a number of posts today, so onward and forward, and once again, help is on the way…
