Search for the next Steve Jobs
13 April 2012
Londoner Hermione Way today launched a global search to find the next Mark Zuckerberg or Steve Jobs in a contest billed "the X Factor for internet firms".
She hopes the Startup World contest will find the next Facebook or Apple, adding: "Much like competing on the X Factor, selling a business idea requires raw talent, mastery of the material, and the ability to perform. This is my answer to the singing competition."
Finalists from 36 countries will fly to Silicon Valley to pitch their ideas to judges. Winners will receive help from a startup firm.
