About Us

The CorpStarter North America Venture Contest is one of the most competitive startup contests in the East Coast. It links projects and talents with capital, office spaces, startup-related services, and opportunities to explore the ever-growing Chinese market. During the past three years, we have selected and supported ten valuable startups, helped them get funded from both US and China, offered prime location office space in Manhattan, and connected them with mentors, leading investors, law firms and accounting firms.

During the Star Show on Aug 7th, three winning teams will be selected. All of them will be rewarded generously with investment up to $1Mmarketing promotionmembership of CorpStarterservices from law and accounting firms and media coverage.
