Apply In The Sky, one of the startups that demonstrated its product at Women 2.0′s recent PITCH night, has quickly proved its value with pals who are applying to B school. SF-based Emily Chiu founded the application organizer with Chicagoan Chiara Piccinotti before launching around Labor Day. Together with tech lead Ryan Kaminsky, one of the creators of the MBAPlanner iPhone app, the founders are looking to eventually streamline law and medical school applications and job searches (all in an attempt to become a platform for making life changes more manageable). If you’re about to be shelling out money and synergistic language to study management, this could be your first step.
And if you’re intending to go your own way, this weekend will mark the first of two Saturdays and Sundays for the Global Startup Battle. Intended to inspire company ideas around the world during Global Entrepreneurship Week, teams will still have only 54 hours each to develop teams and functional prototypes–they now just can do so from Beirut, Tulsa, and lots of other host cities.
