Search for Web 2.0 innovation begins

Morph Labs will initiate Morph Code :: SaaS Boot Camp this month at the Institute of Social Order, Ateneo de Manila University in Quezon City. On March 29, we will hold a series of workshops and we'll be talking about the ins and outs of building web businesses, technopreneurship, and Software as a Service (SaaS). We've got an exceptional list of speakers -- David Abramowski (CEO of Morph Labs), Dickie Gonzales (President of Philippine Emerging Startups Open), Winston Damarillo (Founder and Chairman of Morph Labs), Jerome Gotangco (Platform and Infrastructure Manager of Morph Labs), and Bill Luz (EVP of Ayala Foundation).

After the workshop series, we'll be asking participants to pitch to us their Web 2.0 ideas. For those of you who have submitted their business summaries, you get a chance to talk to Winston and the rest, to check and see if you've done the right thing. The elevator pitch presentations are set to happen on April 5 at the same venue.

Teams that advance to the third and final stage will then be asked to deliver a closed-door oral presentation detailing how they plan to execute and deploy their Web 2.0 ideas. Some projects may be eligible for financial and mentoring support through the Morph Accelerator.

The by-invitation final presentations will take place May 3 at the Edsa Shangri-La hotel. The successful team will receive up to two years? operating capital and SaaS infrastructure, as well as mentoring and global marketing support.

So, come and say hello. Register here if you are interested to join Morph Code. If you simply want to meet and greet the Morph peeps, you're also welcome!
