Calling All Uber Geeks: Think You're Hot Shit? Great... Pimp Yourself Out for a TechFellow Award

Ok folks: i can finally tell you all about the top-secret event i've been working on these past few months at Founders Fund... along with TechCrunch, we just announced the TechFellow Awards.

Find out how you can win $25,000 to invest in the startup of your choice.

Nominate your favorite geek, designer, entrepreneur, or visionary.

Hell, you can even nominate yourself if you're that fucking cool.

Bring It, Homes. 

We want your best, your brightest, your most incandescent candle that burns twice as bright (but only half as long).

Here are descriptions of the four TechFellow Award categories & the type of folks we're looking for:

Engineering Leadership candidates are people who have demonstrated technical excellence, built amazing technology infrastructure and products, or led teams that together built complex and elegant solutions that changed our lives.  They are the uber geeks who calculate 10-digit squares in their heads, and write a thousand bug-free lines of code on the fly without skipping a beat.

Product Design and Marketing candidates are people who have designed insanely great products, who have made technology beautiful and sexy, who have created the marketing campaign that blows you away and makes you want to go out and buy ten of them for your whole family.  These are the storytellers, the artists, the people who make our dreams come alive.

General Management candidates are people who have built the teams and organizations that create and deliver great technology and products to the world.  They are company builders who provide foundations and process for all the rest of the geeks and dreamers to make their dreams reality.  They are the folks who wake up at 6am and open the doors, make the donuts, play reveille, and lead the charge to take the hill.  They make it *happen*.

Disruptive Innovation candidates are the visionaries, the starry-eyed fools who believe when no one else will.  They are undaunted when told NO by stern parents, when told it WON’T WORK by a thousand dismissive VCs,  when failure after failure would dash the hopes of lesser mortals.  These are the men and women whose incredible ideas burst forth like Athena from their foreheads, and they know what it means to make Fire, the Wheel, and the Printing Press.

Okay, still interested? 

Great, click here to nominate your favorite geek (or yourself, you narcissitic egomanic, you).
