Why the seed stage only criterion?

We prefer to showcase the smaller / bootstrapped / cash strapped startups over those with more capital. For the latter group, we offer 50% discounts (https://us.pycon.org/2013/sponsors/prospectus/) on Silver and Gold Pycon sponsorships (a steal, when you factor in how much you're saving on conference registration).

The goal is to find small, python oriented promising startups and give them visibility they might not otherwise be able to afford.

that's fair. and noble. Anyone with more than 100k can afford to buy such publicity.

jnoller, What's the thing at the end of Pycon where people showcase their projects built with python? It's like the science fair of python projects?

Both lightning talks and posters can serve this purpose.

You are probably thinking of the Poster Session: https://us.pycon.org/2013/posters/

Proposals are being accepted through January 16th. I had a poster in it last year and had some really good talks with people. It's a pretty cool environment.

If you meet the criteria, apply! I was on Startup Row in 2011 and it changed my life. Even if you're not part of Startup Row, do visit the startups there. I met many interesting companies while everyone was in talks and the exhibit hall was empty.
