Under the Radar

I've written a number of times about the Under the Radar program run by Dealmaker Media. I have always enjoyed the American Idol-like format of the event, particularly because I get to play Paula Abdul (although, according to Josh Kopelman, Paula may not be the model I'm looking for). The next addition of Under the Radar is taking place on June 28th at Microsoft in Mountain View. A new crop of startups looking to shape the future of entertainment and media will be facing off. And I'll be there to add my two cents. Among the startups presenting will be some interesting new gaming companies, including Bunchball, Hothead Games, Kongregate, as well as Sean Ryan's cool avatar company Meez, the most adopted third party Facebook application, iLike, and a bunch of other interesting companies. If anyone is interested in saving a hundred bucks on registration for Under the Radar, here's a link. Hope to see you there.
