Standout Jobs is Launching at DEMO 08
There’s no turning back now! Standout Jobs is very excited to announce that we’re launching at DEMO 08 in Palm Desert, California. The event runs from January 28th-30th.
This is a huge opportunity for us. The DEMO stage is really like no other. We get 6-minutes to give a product demonstration and make our pitch. It’s 2 days of networking, pitching, schmoozing and generating as much buzz as we possibly can. Only 70 companies are invited to attend, and we’re honored to be one of them.
If you’ve never taken a look at DEMO, I encourage you to do so. There have been some great presentations and companies over the years. The conference has been around a long time, is incredibly well-established and run. It’s one of the best launchpads for a tech startup.
Canadian startups have a great history with DEMO. In the last couple of years the folks at Tungle and Iotum won the coveted DEMO God Awards, given out to a handful of the top companies. I’ve spoken to both CEOs, Marc Gingras and Alec Saunders, and they impressed upon me the scale and professionalism of the event. And how much I should practice the presentation!
The focus of DEMO is on product launches, which I think is great. Your presentation is a sales pitch, of course, but you have to show a working product. No slides, graphics or any other wizardry. Just show people the product. And that’s what we’ll do…
Since we are launching at DEMO, we’re not allowed to publicly announce anything about our product until the conference.
If you’re interested in learning more, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with me directly by email or call: 514.582.4749. Companies in hiring mode should definitely get in touch. We can help generate some great buzz for you at DEMO, which is a wonderful opportunity to showcase your company, team, culture and recruiting needs. I’m also interested in talking to recruiters.
So there you have it. Standout Jobs will be launching at the end of the month, on-stage at DEMO. We’re looking forward to it and a great 2008!

Mucho congrats, and looking forward to the big day!
Thank you for all the well wishes, I appreciate it! I definitely hope to share some of the journey via this blog (although it’s not much of a journey at this point since we have 2.5 weeks left!) and certainly share the experience once I’m there and after.
Congrats Ben! That’s great news
I’m sure you guys will knock ‘em dead! As a fellow Canadian startup, we’re proud of you guys, and we wish you the very best at DEMO 08.
