Dallas, TX, March 3, 2010 – WhichBox Media, an online publishing and content monetization Software as a Service provider, today announced that it be among an exclusive group of top technology innovators from around the globe competing for top honors at the 2010 WBT Showcase, March 16-17, in Arlington, Texas. The WBT Showcase is the largest collection of vetted and mentored companies and technologies emanating from top universities, labs, research institutions, and the private sector from across the country and around the globe.

The patent-pending technology that is getting so much attention is WhichBox Media’s relevancy driven all-media content publishing platform. Built by publishers, for publishers, the platform will be rigorously prepped by WBT Showcase commercialization experts to be presented to venture capitalists and Fortune 1000 licensees.

Bettina Bennett, CEO, Chief Maverick and Co-Founder of WhichBox Media commented, “It is great being counted among the WBTshowcase competitors. We believe the technology behind whichbox™, some of which has been on the drawing boards for years, can revolutionize the way media companies create, manage and distribute their content – and the way they connect with their audience. We’re looking forward to the competition!”

“The conventional wisdom for venture capital is that a down economy can be a great time to invest,” said Paul Huleatt, WBTshowcase CEO. “The pace of new innovations accelerates, the best deals rise quickly to the top and sophisticated investors receive great value for their money.”

According to Mr. Huleatt, one in three WBTshowcase presenters goes on to secure venture funding, license their technology, or sell their IP outright, representing over $450 million raised to date.

The WBTshowcase is produced in cooperation with the National Association of Seed and Venture Funds (NASVF), the Federal Laboratory Consortium for Technology Transfer (FLC), and the Southeastern Universities Research Association (SURA). The National Association of Seed and Venture Funds is a network over 5,000 innovation capital providers including seed and venture funds, economic developers, angel investors, universities, and tech commercialization experts. The Southeastern Universities Research Association (SURA) is a consortium of over sixty universities and colleges throughout the US that helps to identify, coordinate, and commercialize translational science and engineering for energy, cleantech, life science, infotech, and other applications.
