With all the interest in the new MSG series of podcasts with VCs and industry-watchers, the timing is perfect to promote the Mobile Peer Awards, a must-attend event on February 16 in Barcelona (during Mobile World Congress) that brings together 20 early-stage and emerging startups. The finalists, chosen from 100+ companies nominated by each chapter of MobileMonday (a staggering 67 chapters entered their favorite local startups this time around), have the opportunity to present their elevator pitch to a panel of judges from companies including AdMob, Amdocs Venture Investments, Balderton Capital, France Telecom/Orange Group, Telefónica R&D, and Yahoo.
I'm also proud to announce that I have been asked to judge the awards, and greatly look forward to connecting with the candidate companies. February 2, 2009
