Please enter the url of a 1-2 minute unlisted (not private) YouTube or Vimeo video introducing yourself and the company. This isn't a requirement but it will greatly improve your ability to tell us your story and be selected. You can also email your recording to edtechweek@started.com

In the video please introduce yourself, explain what you’re doing and why, and tell us anything else you want to about the founders or the company. The video should be less than two minutes long and could be uploaded to YouTube/Vimeo. If you don’t want other people to find it, mark it as unlisted. Don’t mark it as private, or we won’t be able to see it. Do not spend time ‘producing’ your video -- shot on mobile phone or screen recorded on Zoom/Hangout is fine. The video should contain nothing except you talking, and you are welcome to include slides if it helps. No screenshots or postproduction wizardry please; this isn’t a video-making contest. If you’re going to spend time making something cool, put it into your demo/product. Please do not recite a script written beforehand. Talk spontaneously as you would to a friend. People delivering memorized speeches (or worse still, text read off the screen) usually come off worse. Unless you’re a good enough actor to fake spontaneity, you lose more in the stilted delivery than you gain from a more polished message. Before submitting the video, you should try playing it yourself, and check that you can hear what you’re saying. The video will be kept confidential and will only be reviewed by members of the StartEd and EdTech Week team.
