Philly Startup Leaders has offered a prize that has grown to $8,000 thanks to a half-dozen individuals and organizations for the best idea submitted to Gigabit Philly to woo Google to build one of its ultra-high speed broadband networks in Philadelphia, reports Technically Philly.
Startup Leaders founder Blake Jennelle told Technically Philly in a phone interview this morning. Startup Leaders hopes that the prize will continue to increase as Google’s deadline on Mar. 26 quickly approaches.
“We’ll consider this a victory if it shines a light on the grassroots movement in Philadelphia. We take things into our hands, step up to the plate, move quickly and rally together,” Jennelle says.
