		<description><![CDATA[Last year I had the opportunity to participate as a judge and mentor in the inaugural competition, MassChallenge, a serious business competition that attracted over 450 entries. 110 finalists were incubated for 3 months including free office space, introductions to VC, funders, customers and team resources.  Sixteen finalists split $1 Million including $100,000 for the top finisher. If you have a venture and are looking to make it to the next level I strongly encourage you to apply to the 2011 accelerator. If you have any questions please reach out to the organizers at contact@masschallenge.org or apply online at www.masschallenge.org/enter. More details at
