Are you interested? Of course, right? So together with Penn Olson, #StartupLokal will give out 10 free tickets! (worth more than $3000 in total!) Simply answer the question: Why do you deserve the free ticket? For example: I want to go to Startup Asia because I have a product that will launch to solve a common problem among the nations. Just send it to all[at]startuplokal.org and cc it to best[at]startuplokal.org (p.s. you need to send it to both or you won’t qualify for one)
