“I want to change a broken industry. It’s been broken for a while. I’m not just someone trying to start a business to make money.”
So says Memphian Richard Billings. The broken industry he’s referring to is book publishing. And the business he’s starting is called Screwpulp, which is designed to bypass existing business models and that includes traditional paths to publishing and self-publishing. But Billings needs your help now. He’d like your vote. It could mean $10,000.
That’s the grand prize in a contest sponsored by Everywhere Else, a business conference for startups that will take place in Memphis from February 10th to 12th. Contest participants submit a video describing their startup, and YouTube viewers can vote on their favorite. That’s where you come in, and here’s the Screwpulp video if you’d like a look.
