Take the £1 Million Force.com Investment Challenge
The best platforms are always driven by killer 3rd party applications–at salesforce.com, we
believe anyone can combine deep domain expertise with the Force.com platform to become the "next
salesforce.com" for new application categories, vertical industries, or niche markets.
A key part of the Force.com vision is to enable a multi-billion dollar economy of SaaS
independent software vendors (ISVs) that deliver powerful business applications to customers and
end users through innovation, not infrastructure.
To help inspire the next generation of ISV's to develop and deliver SaaS applications on the Force.com platform, Eden Ventures, the early stage UK venture capital firm specializing in software and technology, is launching the £1 Million Investment Challenge, a venture challenge for entrepreneurs and early stage companies building on the Force.com Platform. The winner will have the opportunity to negotiate with Eden Ventures for a potential investment of up to £1 million.
The Highlights
Enter your company in the £1 Million Force.com Investment Challenge. Eden Ventures will judge the entries and select the winning entrepreneur(s) or startup(s). The winner will be announced at Dreamforce 2008, salesforce.com's global user and developer conference in November 2008.
The Awards
The Challenge winner and/or winners shall have the opportunity to negotiate with Eden Ventures for a potential investment of up to £1 million. Please see official rules for more details.
