Are you building the next Facebook or Google? Startup World is a global competition to find the next Jobs or Zuckerberg. The competition will be held in 36 cities world-wide, the regional winners will fly to Silicon Valley for a grand showdown to battle it out in front of a panel of expert judges to be crowned the world's best startup.
