As the new year is well underway, so is the activity at StartupRoundup. I started this blog with the intention of discovering and showcasing early stage tech startups. I didn’t want to be redundant and cover the same sites that the TechCrunches of the world talk about. That left me looking for the pre-funded startup teams consisting of about one to three people.

Since my goal is to help these startups, the StartupRoundup blog is going to begin sharing the details of business plan and other startup compititions where seed money is available. On top of that, I would like to follow up with the winners and/or the most interesting startups as these events and share their story.

In my continuing quest to help other entrepreneurs, look for a startup competition calendar coming soon that will list as many events as possible. Also, check back on the home page often for details on the most interesting competitions. If you have any suggestions for events to cover, please send them my way on twitter @StartupRoundup or shoot me an email at startup@startuproundup.com

Make 2011 the year of your startup!
