As we did last year, StartupsHK is teaming up with Social Media Week to bring you Pitch Night 2012 in February.

5 start-ups will pitch in front of 3 venture capital judges to compete for a cash prize and the audience will get to vote on their favorite via Twitter with pitches going out live via #SUMHK.

Details coming up but mark your calendar for that night in Central. More details about Social Media Week at www.socialmediaweek.org.
